If this thing is ever done I will be amazed

So, the sound tech's computer has been stolen, and his backup is broken. So he is going to do the sound on a friend's computer.

On top of the, my meeting with my partner in crime has been postponed because his friend has lung cancer and only has a month to live. It's really horrible.

However, my partner and I have seemed to repaired that breach between us and we are moving forward.

Also, I have shown the rough cut to some of the people at work and they are loving the damn thing.

Hope springs eternal.

Crap

So, my partner and I got into it today. He seems to have gotten into his head that I am out to screw him over and steal everything. Mind you, I've tried to involve him in every step of making this demo. All he wants to do is write stuff which he won't share. I've taken my own money and found actors and convinced people to work on this and that is was a good idea and worth their time, and all he has done is supposedly write things.

I don't know what to do. I've tried to get him down here so that we can write out everything we want out of this and work out protections from each other, but he doesn't seem to have time for that.

Still, he accuses me of wanting to steal this idea of his.

Fuck. Just fuck. There's not even any money yet and already this shit is starting.

Computer

So, my computer broke.

The sound tech's computer has been stolen.

And the editor's computer hasn't arrived yet.

What a day.

Rough Cut II

So, the rough cut is done and my partner is happy.

I got to say, this has turned out a lot better than I thought. After all the misery and bad luck we have gone through, this is a pretty damn good film.

I am, however, thinking of making a 30 second animated trailer instead of working animation into the film. Though I may still use animation to enhance some shots.

Right now, though, I am trying to get a cinematographer for color correction. There is some issues in getting the cameras to match.

But who didn't expect that (besides me)?

Rough Cut

So, today I am finishing the rough cut.

I am very nervous, since it will be the first time that my partner has seen any of this.

Let's just hope it goes well.

Post Production

So, my editor has ordered a new computer. It will be two weeks getting here and then we will start post production.

That's okay, because it gives me time to put a post production team together.

As hard as I have worked, I'm still surprised to be here. Filming was such a draining experience. If I can put the rest together, I will be truly amazed.
