The long road ahead

Principle photography has been completed for a while now. I will not be shooting a second more of this movie no matter how much I itch to do it. I'm going to just edit and use what I have from here forward.

I just feel so happy right now. It works, the whole ending bit works, it's over. I worked very very hard and I have a good ending to the movie ready to go, some fine tuning all that's necessary and of course finish the post effects stuff.

It's a huge relief but I'm not out of the butt yet on this one... Lots more to do and an un forseen problem has arisen.

No hard drive space.

I edit like this... I don't want any footage coming from the USB externals so I copy everything I need to my three main system drives and go from there with that stuff..

Didn't know I'd max out space on the drives like I did, they have no space left and yunno, still got lots of editing to do...

I do have 50gigs left on my main system drive so I'll see if I can mange to cobble the rest of the film together from this and hope it's not going to die from the stress of it all.

Boy this thing is a wopper, I'm going to stick to short films in the future. I have ideas for little movies, but I'm honestly never going to make them this big or crazy. I just never did this kind of epic scale film making so I said, go for it... Yeah now I'm kicking myself....

Honesst to God, this would be done if I didn't want it so big, my bad.

But at least I'm getting closer to it being over. Yeah, it's full of cool bits and tricks I invented for doing movies like this. Hell, considering how good the finale came out, I do indeed have sorta an idea to go big and screen it in theaters, it'd actually be a fun little thing to watch. I don't know. I'd be one of the few people to tackle static shock anyway...

Thinking about doing a Sliders thing.. all these damn awful movies and tv shows being made, but oh end an actual decent 90s show properly with a quality conclusion? Never, more Full House and Roseanne for your ass though...

Well damn, just had to blog out a bit after sitting here doing some fx work and editing to kinda get the final battle to flow nicer. I'm getting to that point as an editor where you get sick of tweaking the footage and just want to not give a shit right now.. so yeah, but I'll get back to work and try to slam out the whole mid section of the film together sloppily within about a week. Then it's just plug in all the fx work, and it's over... fuck it's over...
