where am I going now...

I will be finishing this movie, hook or by crook but a few things first.

Need to rest. Been working very hard non stop on getting the rough cut out. Now the drive which I hoped would just work and not fail has proven that it is the drive I've been worried would start clicking the click of failure and I have been delayed severely by that. I must move the pivotal files off of it to a drive I got recently, small drive nothing good, but it'll be enough.

Once the files are moved, the hard core editing process will continue and we'll edit the ending. Once that's out of the way, I'll get to the middle just kinda make something of it, but I'm not at all concerned with the middle if the dreaded ending battle isn't fully worked out.

Sucks, but I don't really care. The release will be Christmas day and makes sense since a major theme in the static shock film is about christmas and some of my own christian upbringing coming into it. Unavoidable. I actually like religious themes. I believe in that stuff.

So kinda happy right now. I actually looked into my external drive looking for things to delete to make space and stumbled upon the original footage of my saucer grab from the static trailer I made years ago. I mean it means nothing to any of you, but it was devastating, huge spirtual loss to have felt like I deleted it and would never get the original footage back for that scene. I mean it's me, at that time, years ago, a good well shot scene that I never thought I'd delete since it kinda is an essential part of things, but then it was seemingly gone and all I had was the trailer stuff. I mean glad to find it, but yeah other stuff I shot I'm not having as easy a time finding but really it hurt most not to have that shot anymore in its full complete untouched quality. Like a true geeky idiot, I'm just my brain exploded from finding it and was just like wow when I finally hit on it and it had everything I shot back then... so dorky, but yeah I was that happy about it.

So I'm not going to edit tonight I think... might do a little something, but editing is a psychologically draining discipline. It's a discipline. I hate it. so much concentration, back breaking, hard meticulous precise cutting, then you hit one button and it all falls apart and sucks.

hate it... don't want to go through that shit right now.
