Gotten the shake scripts mostly hacked into place. Did the first attempt at color correction. Looked terrible, hastily cranking out the second pass.

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.

Getting ever closer.

Second polish cut, getting a little smoother. Consolidated all my backups, liking Time Machine.

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

Third rough cut, starting to be semi-presentable.

Finished a second rough cut. Funny how much easier cutting is when you know where the thing is going.

Had a nice Thanksgiving. Finished a rough cut of the project. Added some stills to the project page. Exporting a DVD.

Well, anything that can go wrong, will.  My brand shiny new 1TB hard drive I’d consolidated the project onto died.

Lost a day of work and some old video files I copied off while upgrading my laptop to leopard.  Yay for making backups.

Got everything into the computer, did an assembly. I don’t remember shooting twelve hours of footage, but there it is.
