Mistakes.

The last possible day of the show. Everything's almost been delivered, and we're just wrapping up a couple of shots. I'm still working on one of mine, it came back with minor notes yesterday.

Given the crazy past month, certain things have slipped through the cracks when they really shouldn't have. Things like incorrect grain size, missing mattes, or erroneous roto shapes have popped up in some of my shots, and this has forced the shot to come back. The scrutiny that I usually do to most of my shots is sometimes not as detailed as I would like, for whatever reason. Lots of really little mistakes when I know that there shouldn't be any. We're human after all, but I don't like making silly mistakes that are part of the checklist procedure.

I've gotten quite a bit of email lately from India, mostly for help and mentoring or training or freelancing. While it would be great to go overseas again, I'm not in a position at the moment to do that. I've a million things (ok, that's a stretch) going on, both professionally and personally, that require me to reside in the states for a while longer. I'd love to be able to freelance again overseas, which is why you're reading this on digitalgypsy, not digitalhermit. I'm not ready to do it again just yet.
