Wow.

I'm mildly disappointed in myself but mostly in my faith in modern technology. A woman named Danielle, who works at ABKCO in the licensing department, had emailed me back on the 27th. I was going through my many, many emails that I receive each day and that one had popped up out of nowhere. It was in my sent, not received. So there's a chance I have licensed music for my opening! Now all I need is the opening. 

God Help Me

Alright! So! things have gone a little haywire (and by little I mean disastrously) over this weekend. Lemme lay it down for you in all it's chaotic glory:

-my cameraman went away on a trip all week so now my lovely girlfriend will be filming for us

-our set designer (i.e. the person providing the van for the opening) had work all weekend, making filming go way behind schedule

-my hair is all gone and the wig I was planning on using is gone somehow?

-we have no music

-I have work practically all week, so we will really have to crunch time for filming (I can edit this easily in one night so I'm not worried about that)

-finally, the final project is due over the weekend and I leave on a trip to visit my future college and my family in Baltimore

This week should be very, very interesting. Pray for me. 

Huzzah!

At last! The script is here, in it's fully-fledged, four paged glory. I have noticed that it might go a bit over, but if that's the case, I'll just have to edit in some magic to end it perfectly. Maybe a fade. Most likely a fade.

Tragedy Strikes

Oh, I almost forgot. My place of work had requested on Monday that I was to cut my hair by saying I was unable to work until I did so. So I did. And I hate it. Time to get a wig for the opening.

Long Time, No See!

Wow, I actually have a chance to blog during this crazy week. Here's the lowdown: this week has been crazy busy for me. Work scheduled me all week (save the weekend; there is a God!) and when I've gotten home late each night, I've had to study for a test the next day. The Senior Crux, ladies and gentlemen. Luckily, Stoklosa gave us a huge chunk of time to work on our projects during class today, so here I am, bloggin' it up. 

I've revised a new script in light of the ABKCO ordeal (seeing as how I wrote the song I didn't even have the rights to into the script), worked out a shooting schedule for this weekend (Saturday and Sunday from 10:30-3), and I finally finished a surprisingly minimal storyboard. Things are looking up for me in light of this busy, busy week. 

Great News!

Aside from the odd, negative news regarding the opening, with the alternative script writing and the new usage of music, I have the best news. A friend of mine has recently come into ownership of a Westphalia (a VW van)! Best part is, we can use it for the opening! We can even drive it on the highway! Thank god she has that amount of trust in me. This makes it mostly smooth sailing from here.

Yikes

Well, here we are back to square one. Sadly, ABKCO has not gotten back to me in a good time frame window, so it seems I;m going to be using copyrighted music. It's not that bad, though. This does not halt the video making process that much. However, I do need to rewrite some lines in the script, seeing as how they use the radio as influence. There really is no rest for the wicked.
