January 11

A sister, nervous

And dismissive at first, does

In the end, relent.

 

 

...wow this video (you can watch it in HD too) really should not have taken as long as it did to edit.

 

Earlier, Caryn came by and we worked on the mock-up website for our company . Finally put together our logo, which felt like real progress. Next step: cutting the showreel. Yes... I have to cut another showreel. Hopefully, I won't be obsessing over every little—

 

Who am I kidding? The above video is, what, 45 seconds? I re-encoded 4 or 5 times just to get the color-correct a bit better, or the fade at the end start15 frames earlier! If I could, I'd go back right now and adjust one of the cuts. Must. Resist.

 

—And this is why deadlines are important.

 

So we set one: February 1. Nice round date.

 

Julie and Caryn went to the gym for a yoga class, and my cousin Bobby stopped by for a quick chat about how to go about shooting his short documentary. After everyone left and the wife and baby fell asleep, I fixed myself a drink, and yes... got lost in Final Cut Pro.
