The Beacon: November 1st 2001

Everything seems very strange to me right now. The other night I got really into some BeaconFX I was doing and went on into the not-so-wee-any-more hours, the end result being that for the last couple of days I’ve been working through the night and sleeping during the day. But it ends here because I’ve run out of stuff to do. Yup, I’ve done all that I can do. I’m now waiting for Mike’s computer to arrive, so he can get started on the 3D FX. Once we’ve locked down the lengths of the 3D shots, I can lock the whole film, and get onto creating the soundtrack. (If you see a man with a big furry mic wandering about, recording strange things, that’ll be me). Then comes grading. Then it goes off to the BBFC. Then it’s done. Of course, there are still a few things left to shoot. I’m trying to schedule all those things for a couple of week’s time (strange – that coincides with Dave being back in the area – it’s almost like I need someone to drive me around) because I keep putting them off. By the way, anyone have a helicopter we can shoot a quick shot in?
