A Welcome Bit of Rest
Jul. 12th, 2011 01:34 amMom brought home some very good black cherries, and I have been going through them swiftly, along with homemade biscuits. The balcony garden is doing well, with the exception that the zucchini, which was sickly to begin with, did not manage to hold on. I'll have to replace it, and I think I have room to put in a berry or some beans.
Had very little work to do today; mainly napped for one hour out of every three to recover from an almost-all-nighter two nights back, babysitting a file transfer. The film has been handed off to the colorist, who has had no technical problems whatsoever (possibly a first time occurrence for this film), who is working very hard, and who completely understands everything I need from him and is capable of doing it. It is an incredible relief to be in a part of the process I trust to proceed routinely and competently, without forced rushing, or, conversely, procrastination. And I look forward to seeing Schneider's careful photography correctly adjusted.
Nevertheless, we've pushed our completion deadline back two weeks thanks to continued sound problems that we felt made the film unwatchable. They affect about a third of the runtime. Ciro is repairing them personally now. This means we will miss the Telluride deadline, but it needs to be done; we could work ourselves without sleeping and spend several thousand dollars and I don't think we would have a satisfactory project in time for Telluride. Both of us want this to be done as soon as possible, which is why the extension is still not much time; it will still be full-time work, but with time to, for instance, be kind to each other.
