The Beacon: January 24th 2002

You’ll notice these entries have got pretty short lately. Almost as if all I can think about is finishing some kind of film or other. These are the facts: last night I did the final sound mix; this morning I took the covers to the printers; this afternoon I started the grading; don’t talk to me about 3D FX. On a more trivial note, I spotted a spelling mistake in the credits roll, so that’s got to be re-rendered. It’s a nice, slow, small text, multiple column credit scroll. Like a proper film. Which is what it is. For several months it’s been a collection of somewhat dodgy shots. Now it’s a movie. With 42 FX shots missing. And by the end of Wednesday next week, it has to be mastered. Or we’re all screwed. I’m off to check in the mirror for grey hairs.
