Weekly Update 02/21/2010
"What does the future hold?"
Truth is, not much to say this week.
It’s been a ‘heavy’ sort of week. We celebrated the first birthday of Brainroot on the 18th, but along with the festivities came an extended period of brooding.
We’d like the company to start looking like a real company this year, but there is a lot that needs to be done to make that happen. One major component: new business.
On the creative front, we’re hoping to finish some of our earlier creative attempts so they see the light of day, then restart the process of making shorts. Let us know if you act.
Also, I got a draft of the script done. Now time to start gutting it . . .
Weekly Update 02/08/2010
Good day to you.
As you’ve become accustomed to, nay, dependent on, the weekly update normally comes out on Sundays.
Today is Monday.
On Sunday, the time when the weekly update normally comes out, I was, rather than writing the weekly update, hanging with the Prairie Village police.
I was not, as you may have assumed, working on my bad boy image. Rather, I was answering questions related to the pilfering of my car by an inconsiderate thief (aren’t they all).
Among the lost are my iPod (the sound of silence sucks), laptop (bye sweet freedom), and spare keys (guess the thief couldn’t drive stick).
WHY CAN’T PEOPLE STEAL THEIR OWN STUFF?
The moral of the story, fellow filmmakers, is get insurance. Stuff happens. Right now, the company can’t afford to buy another laptop, so that’s it for me.
The other moral is, fellow filmmakers, back up your data. I had just e-mailed a draft of the script back to myself the night before, and, if I hadn’t, about 60 pages and 2 weeks of writing would have been lost. That would have sucked.
In related news, the first draft of the script is done! Hoorah!
A Picture I Took on the Way to Work
Now that's dedication
Happy Thanksgiving, Everyone!
We hope that everyone from a 3+ generational American family has a great time eating their traditional Thanksgiving meal.
For those from a recently immigrated family, have a great day off of work. And just so you know, there really isn’t much more to it than a gorging meal.
But it’s important to “know where you came from,” so here’s a little video. This was one of Trey Parker’s early projects. Trey Parker is one of the two creators of South Park. Now whether or not you like or dislike, approve or disapprove of South Park, I hope you won’t argue that Mr. Parker is doing very well for himself. And this is where he came from.
It gives us hope.
A Timelapse
I know. It’s been awhile.
In order to make up for the incredible amount of time lapsed since our last substantial post, we present this timelapse:
6 ½ hours in just over 2 minutes:
