Progress

Well, it's been about a week and a half since I last posted. Everything's just been flying by! There's definitely more to do these days. Our most recent commercial was finally delivered over the weekend. Yesterday we were theoretically supposed to get feedback if anything went wrong, but we received no notes! Here's to hoping that we don't get anything back this morning!

The client watched the commercial yesterday, and the air date is potentially the 3rd of October. We have one more Impala spot to complete in the next two weeks. This last spot is a little bit easier than the previous two. No sky replacements and minimal extravagant camera work. Except for one extremely tough shot that one of the compers is doing, pretty much requiring a complete stitch of a 1000 frame pullback into a 200 frame push in. At 2k. With a sky replacement. Fun. All the compers on the show have been doing their due diligence. Sometimes I feel that not all of them are taking my notes into consideration, but that's something I have to deal with and emphasize that they DO need to hit them. It's definitely a change from being a peer to being a lead! I hope I can make it work.

I'm scheduled to go back onto Charlotte's Web as soon as these spots are done. That's about the middle of the month. Yay! The work that has been coming out of the Charlotte team has been amazing. We're creating one of the hero characters in the film, with roughly 260 shots (at my last guesstimate). That may rise to 300, but I won't know until I get on. I'm not sure if I will be jumping in as a lead comper or a regular comper on the show either. There is one lead currently on the show (Colin, who was also the lead on Hellboy), and several others that have been leads in the past and are regular compers for this show at the moment. The gods above have been informed of my interest in other leading responsiblities, so we'll see if I get a chance to have that on Charlotte's or a future show. I haven't received a pay raise in the last two and a half years that I've been here, so I'm hoping that my time will come soon.
