There you have it, folks. Proof that our entry is on its way to California on time! Actually ahead of schedule. The whole thing actually wasn't that stressful, in fact easier than working with some of my clients on their impossible deadlines. So it was a joy when it finally came together and as people come by for previews, it's rewarding to hear their comments.
But today wasn't without its moments. I'm not happy with the QuickTime renderings that we saw. On one monitor it looks OK; on another there is severe banding in the dark gradients. We'll just have to see how it shows up in Hollywood. (I thought we were through with "never the same color" NTSC video!) I've offered to send them a different file if they want it.
Now it's time to think about the future. There'll be a wrap party for cast and crew on Saturday, then we're going to schedule a premiere event mid-April after the festival. April 18 is the earliest day we can do that, so I'll have to book rooms
We're starting to consider what our next project might be. Hopefully we can do one over the summer in order to get practiced and better prepared for next years' contest.
But what a joy it's been working with all my colleagues, and so many people who have come to help. I can't say thank you enough. When you see the show, you'll see God at work through a bunch of run-of-the-mill people like us - exactly as he promised! God is Good! (All the Time!)
