It ain't over till it's over

Saturday! A day of rest. But not for me, unfortunately. A couple shots came back that need addressing, and since the previous artists have left the buildng, I've been tasked to hit the directors notes this weekend. We're getting down to the wire here, and with a skeleton crew! I've had a great time here at Digital Domain, working for the past year and change. Hard to believe! The first month here was the hardest, acclimating myself to the atmosphere, learning a new package, and jumping into the fray of an Eastwood film. It didn't help that it took five plus weeks for me to final my first shot! It was doozy of one too!

Fortunately everything worked out, and I've finished four films while here.. Flags of our Fathers, Letters from Iwo Jima, Meet the Robinsons 3D, and Pirates of the Caribbean: At Worlds End. During this time, I completed 128 shots; 24 shots in Pirates of the Caribbean, 41 in Meet The Robinsons (in stereo!), 44 in Letters from Iwo Jima, and 19 in Flags of our Fathers. On average, each shot was five seconds, for a total time of 640 seconds. 14 months of work for almost 11 minutes of screen time!

During the month of May I'll be resting and recuperating for the next big show to come! And of course, finishing all these silly projects that I have on the backburner!
