Friday Number 1.

Or Thursday number two. However you look at it, I'll be working the weekend, as is probably most of the Golden Compass crew. We've got some big deadlines to hit, and a couple more spectacular shots to finish up. I'm not really counting how many weeks are left, I just know it's coming up soon, and there just isn't time. But we'll get it done. Yesterday I had a chance to visit Rhythm and Hues, twice, in just as many weeks, and met up with some former coworkers from Digital Domain, and just hang out, have lunch, and chat. I met a couple other compers and we talked about the work we were all doing, since R&H and DD are almost in bed together. We work on almost all the same shows! It was a nice visit, and the drive there and back was easy on a motorcycle. Being stuck in LA car traffic, a thing of the past!

Over the past month or so, I"ve been in communication with the owner of VFXTalk.com, and we're coming to an agreement. I'll be stepping up into a co-ownership role at VFXTalk.com, which will increase my responsibilities, and hopefully, bring more content, interest and people to the site. I don't want to give too much away just yet, but there'll be a much bigger reason for vfx professionals to visit. In addition, those VIP members that have signed up over the past year and pledged their support of the site will be rewarded.

Today at work, director Rob Cohen of XXX and Stealth fame came in to talk to the Mummy crew, and give us an overview of the scope of the work. We also got a chance to see a lot of our internal work which I haven't had a chance to see yet. Looks really good! You'll have to wait until next summer to see the work.
