Lots of work and little sleep

[darkfader]

So I have lost about 24 hrs of sleep in the last week, while working two jobs doing part-time school and working on this festival. All I can say is that I am so very excited to complete my project and view everyone else’s. I love Sci-fi and have waited for the chance to do this kind of project. It looks like I have less sleep to come and thats ok because I am motivated by the DVX, sorry for the ramblings of a man with little sleep, but I can hardly contain myself anymore.

I here you about sleep. I've lost a lot this week, I'm wore out!

It's times like this I'm glad I only work 5 hours a week. :)
Spent a month and a half straight doing this flick, from writing to shooting to CG to sound to scoring... loving every minute of it. I finally got to do some sci-fi after 3 consecutive dramas!

Can't wait to show you guys... it's a doozy. Can't wait to see everyone else's, too! Just wish I had more posts to vote...

Does anyone get the "my eye's are burning out of my skull feeling" when up late editing? I know I do.

I decided to work fewer hours at my job for the month of January so I could work on this movie. (Not that I needed an excuse to not go to work).

T-minus 58 hours and counting. Anyone need more coffee?

[EditPhish]

Coffee is your friend :happy:

Rendering that bad boy out right now, gotta be at work for a 10 hour shift in...3 hours. Dang.

[Slice]

Poo Pooing work, it sucks. I'm still mixing sound.

[darkfader]

still workin'. done with sound <ok a couple more tweaks to even it all out> then on to color correcting. followed by rendering...the end is in sight! ps- who has a progress bar in their constant field of vision right now?!

[Norm Sanders]

Seriously considering calling in to work sick tomorrow, but no real need to since I only show up for about 4-5 hours of actual work anyway.

[darkfader]

So,

I been drinkin coffee all week and I moved to red bull, Ahh lots niacin. But I am still awake and watchin the render screen, 55...67...99 oh time to make another change again. Has anyone heard the dialog to their short in their head while trying to sleep? I sure have time to get back to my MAC screen. Fun... Fun ... Fun

My family and I were all RECITING the short tonight as we watched it -- LOL -- and yes, I've heard it in my head while trying to sleep and while trying to do just about anything else for the last week! :grin:

[HagerNYC]

I'm rendering on 3 computers right now to get this thing done. Two up here and one at my sister's house in SC. Man this is gonna be close, but I'm circus! :)
