(no subject)
well, so much ofr updating every day eh? hmm. maybe nexti'll give it a try next week. It was all going so well too, but then it got pushed to back of my long lost of priorities as yesterday (henceforth referred to as bloody friday) unfolded.
The day started just after 12am when john called me to tell me that his computer had broken and he couldn't get either his film or my music from it in time to meet the deadline for our films. Shit. what followed was a sleepless, worry filled few hours. Thankfully Alison gave us an xtension till monday, and it was only john's PSU that had broken, not his cpu as Chris Bacon was so adamant.
11.30, got a call from john saying he had fixed his computer and now had to record and re-record some stuff in order to change the midi file of my score into a wav. file so it could be imported into premiere. Went to Ashley's seminar. Was quite heated. We had to draw a pig (apparently how you draw this pug has something to do with who you are subconsciously.) Then got into a 'discussion' (read argument) about whether live body art was or wasn't 'art'.
16.00 Still not heard form john, already an hour and a half late for brocko's rehersal, had to go. Rehersed with brocko until 6. Did a run and luaghter was finally down to the time limit (yay!)
18.00 began three hour rehersal with Joe for Victoria Station. Became aware that i hadn't eaten anything all day. Quickly sped to the vending machine and bought 3 packets of chewits. Not as substantial a dinner as i had been led to believe. Long, HARD, rehersal followed where ian needed to work out some frustration before finally nailing the new hanibal lector spin on his character, whilst i nearly fell asleep in my seat and finally got to know just how the controller could get so frustrated with someone.
21.00 finished rehersals for the day. Sped back (well, limped back, when have you known me to speed anywhere?) to the flat and crcked on adobe premiere. John had been in and uploaded the musical score. It was good. However, becasue my live sound (the stuff i nrecorded on the boom mic whilst shooting) was quiet, what followed was a long and arduous process of increasing the audio gain on every shot, then extending it, then denoising it, then playing it in full to make sure the denoiser worked, then only to discover at the end it was causing more problems than it solved and i had to go back through and turn the denoiser off again. Seriously, Premiere's de-noiser tested the limits of my sanity last night. I had had no sleep, virtually no food, had had 12 hours of stress and worry coupled with two long hard rehersals. I snaqpped. There was much shouting and swearing to be had, as well as repested puching to the desk which escalated into me beating an imaginary person to death on my bed with a crutch. After i worked out some frustration, was finally able to finsih film. Irt took 3 attempts to export (didn't make the render bar long enough. dumbass) but i now have it finsihed and ready to hand in to chris on monday at 9.
23.59 had some dinner. Relaxed with the guys and got ready to watch stealth only to be gay and go to bed with a few more episodes of batman the animated series.
NOW, am at work. am very tired. in very much need of sleep. the plan is to go home tonight and sleep from about 5pm through till the morning when i need to be up at 8 to be ready to go at 9 for not on, but two technical rehersals for plays in which i am acting. If you happen to be in the vicinity of the department corridor tomorrow at all, and you see a white blue and green flah move past you between bob kayley and myra mcullogh [sp?] that'll be me, being in two plasces at once.
disco.
