Final cut, #3. Know I missed a shot or two. And I hesitate to use the phrase done. But getting close.

9:14 am

Final cut, #1. A bunch of little things I’ll probably tweak yet. The audio needs to be cleaned up, mixed. But the bulk of the work seems complete.

A long time to get here. A bunch yet to go. A single step at a time.

Native Gimp.app looks quite nice freed from X11. In a similar vein, I’ve been using Mac OpenOffice builds for the past few months without many issues.

Spent the last week or two getting deep into shake. I’ve used it off and on for a few years now but have never really pushed things too far. But in the past few days have gone deeper than ever before.

I see why people like the program: at its heart is shell scripting. So if you want to make a change to a bunch of shots, a regex find/replace will do it in about a second. If you have everything set up correctly, which is the tricky part. The reverse corollary is that you can screw up about fifty shots in a second. I only mention that as a theoretical concern.

Made the first polish cut on Sunday, got the Flash code live. Played around with ZFS, crashed my computer a number of times.

3:58 am

A nice new year’s present, ZFS read/write binaries for Leopard.

Been finally shooting a little more. Got 16 or so pages so far this week. Seven or so left. If the weather holds on saturday, should get another five of those. Need to pick up some various junk but the finish line is in sight.

9:25 am

Went to the lake, it rained. Still good times.

Shot the two brothers and an intro/outro of sorts. Gotta find one more actor and I’ll be done.

Made a production website with some stills: Seven Dead Men.

9:16 am

Finally finished Travis up last week, got started with my next two actors today. Shot nine pages, looks good. Hopefully gonna get the same again tomorrow. <crosses fingers>

1:26 am

Got a new phone, a KRZR. Took a bunch of muckwork to get iSync + Bluetooth talking. But seem to have knocked stuff into place.
