The weekend

This weekend:

Friday: Practiced with the Dirty Marmaduke Flute Squad. Fixed a few shots that were messed up in Scene 1 of Mother In-Law Zombie, but didn't get much done other than that.

Saturday: Started work on Scene 2, but had to stop at about 3PM to get everything hooked up and packed for the show that night. Great crowd at the show; there were a lot of people who'd never seen us before, so hopefully we won some new fans. Had some minor feedback problems at the beginning of the set, and my guitar string broke on the first song, but there weren't any show-stoppers. Tracey videotaped it, and on watching the tape back, I think we gave a good performance. My drumming is definitely improving, which is nice, even though I sweat like a pig in that tux. I think I'm going to have to take off the jacket midway through the set next time. Next gig: Headlining on July 28th at The Mojo Room. After that, August 6th and the Hondance Saturday Do-Over.

Sunday: Was finally able to work for an extended period of time. Finished color correcting scenes 2, 3, and 4, and got about halfway through scene 5. They're rendering out right now. Fairly painless so far, although I'm dreading the "flying plates" sequence towards the end of the film, which will involve rotoscoping out the wires and nuts that suspended the plates. I think I got most of the wires out for the rough-cut screening we had in April, but I didn't have time to get to the nuts. So, that'll probably take a while.
