One Week, One Day

Hmm . . wow . . this is coming to an end . . it's surreal . . like the heading of this post, it's only a week and a day till Honours is over (well, not counting setting up for the Annual, etc). In terms of submitting stuff tho, it's only a few days.

Since Tuesday I've been compositing. Yesterday I finished Scene 1 (above is a screen shot) . . according to the revised schedule (which Will made me detail . . "this week is for compositing" didn't cut it. :P) I am supposed to have Scene 1, 2 & 3 in the can and beginning Scene 4 atm. But my Honours Paper needs attending.

I saw Lynne last Thursday and she is genuinely happy with it . . only a few tiny ammendments needed to be made. I emailed my (assumedly) final draft to her and Will Tuesday but haven't heard anything so am assuming no news is good news?

Because my paper is about story v. production I decided to layout my paper in a really tactile kinda way . . make it look like a production diary/book thing. Get it printed at a proper printing place. In which case, I should give the printing place at least a week to get my book/s printed? Which means I need to have it finished TONIGHT. So I can go tomorrow to the printers. And I haven't touched InDesign yet, let alone scanned a single image . . so today will be an intense paper compositing one.

We have our last Honours class today. We are merely meeting up for the sake of meeting up. It has been a good class. At the beginning of the year I was skeptical into thinking I'd really get that attached to the class, but I have.

Anyhoo, this is the schedule of my last few days:

Today (23rd Oct) : Finalise Honours Paper for print.

Friday (24th Oct) : Send Honours Paper for print. Start compositing Scene 2/3

Saturday & Sunday (25th & 26th Oct): Composite Scene 2/3. I can't get much done because I work and work . . just drains sometimes. Mostly, I like my part time job. They generally treat me well. But the annual I applied for for October (though I had given them enough time to process it, and the store manager had told me it was approved) was denied. I could rant more, but what's the point? I've been juggling work with Honours still . . but it's been okay.

Monday (27th Oct) : Scene 4

Tuesday (28th Oct) : Scene 4

Wednesday (29th): Sound @ COFA

Thursday (30th Oct) : Sound @ COFA

Friday (31st Oct) : Export if I haven't already. IT'S DUE! Speaking of which, I better find out who I hand it into . . hmmm . .

So that, is my revised schedule . . I've given sound less time than I had planned (sorry Simon, if you are reading this. ) but two days is an improvement on last year's allocation to sound. At one point I had contemplated a silent film . . ehehe . . thankfully I was saved from my ignorance.

Okay, well, best be working on the paper now . . :)
