Guild Stuff All Day

Today I had several folks come over to my place so I could shoot some pick up questions for the BTS pieces. It was great seeing some of the Guild folks, it's been a few months since we all hung out.

After the reshoots Jenni and I actually interviewed them for our Knights of the Guild podcast and had some very fun and entertaining conversations with them.

We finished with all that stuff around 3pm. I then started working on editing one of my BTS pieces for The Guild DVD. I'm actually working on notes for one and starting my second one.

I just wish I had more time in the day. I finally finished in the wee hours and went to bed. I hope to finish both pieces by tomorrow night.

Jared's Birthday Party

Today my friend Jared had his birthday party at our house. Since we have such a great backyard, he ask if he could have his party here. Of course I said yes as I was actually going to offer our place. So he got here around 5 with his girlfriend and they began to set up. I got home from work early around 6 and the party began around 7. There were about 20 or so people and it was alot of fun. It was cold but we had an awesome fire using our brand new fire pit. We had beer pong but first you had to get your "prom" picture taken with Jared. It was really fun night and everyone seemed to have a great time. I got to see alot of my Guildie friends including Felicia Day and I met some really cool friends of Jared's. I'm super tired but it was a fun night and worth putting off watching the series finale if BSG, season finale of Clone Wars and a new episode of Dollhouse.

Your result for The Nerd? Geek? or Dork? Test...

Pure Geek

35 % Nerd, 78% Geek, 35% Dork

For The Record:

A Nerd is someone who is passionate about learning/being smart/academia.

A Geek is someone who is passionate about some particular area or subject, often an obscure or difficult one.

A Dork is someone who has difficulty with common social expectations/interactions.

You scored better than half in Geek, earning you the title of: Pure Geek.

It's not that you're a school junkie, like the nerd, and you don't really stand out in a crowd, like the dork, you just have some interests that aren't quite mainstream. Perhaps it's anime, perhaps it's computers, perhaps it's bottlecaps, perhaps it's all of those and more. Your interests take you to events and gatherings that are filled with people you find unusual and beyond-the-pale, but you don't quite consider yourself "of that crowd." Instead, you consider yourself to be fairly normal.

More Editing BTS and Microcast

Tonight when I got off work I did the same thing, went home ate dinner and hung out with Harry for a few hours. Then got to editing. I had gotten notes from Felicia about the BTS and I agreed with her notes but in order to get what she wanted I will have to do some re-shooting this weekend. So I stopped that piece and started another piece. I worked on that for about three hours and needed a change of pace so around 12:30am I switched over to editing Knights of the Guild Microcast #2 which I finished around 1:30am, I sent it to Jenni for approval and then went to bed so I can do it all again tomorrow.

Compliments

Tonight just before I left for home one of my new Junior Editors came to me and said "You are the happiest Post Super I have ever known. You are always smiling and in a good mood." That meant so much to me. I don't hear it that often, normally in post you get nothing but complaints, so it was nice to hear something positive. I try and run my post department like my boss Darla does. She is the nicest and sweetest boss you could ask for and I try to use her as an example. I'm glad it's paying off.

More Editing

Once again after a long day at work I got home, spent a few hours with the hubby then started to edit one of my BTS pieces for The Guild. I think this will be my 4th note pass. This piece is really shaping up.

It's so much fun to look back at all the great times we had last year shooting season two.

AM Editing

When I got up this morning, I had gotten another set of notes for my second pass of the BTS piece. Kim mentioned that she would be showing the piece to Felicia so I decided to tackle the notes before I headed into work. I spent about two hours working on the notes getting the piece exactly as the requested. All the notes were valid and I think the piece is better because of them. I outputted and sent it to Kim. Next up are their final notes and that piece will be ready and I can move on to my second piece.

Because I stayed home a bit longer to edit the piece I was late coming into work. But today being St. Patrick Day and folks and their doctor appointment not many people were here when I did come in . After a crazy few weeks today has been fairly quiet... but of course it's only 5pm and it seems that thing always happen when I'm about to leave work. I'll keep you posted.

Another Long Day

Today was one of those days.. a very Manic Monday. My AE was coming in late so I got here a bit early and before I even got into work I was receiving phone call about computer issues. I get to work and the computer issue grew, I also had come avid issues, deck issues, tape issues and many more issues. It wasn't until 11:30am that I was finally about to turn on my computer and sit down to check my work emails.

The day wasn't any better.. lot's of work, digitizing, putting out fires here and there. We also had two new employees start today and of course they are night people so I had to stick around and train one and get the other one settled in. I didn't get out of work until 8pm.

Once home I ate dinner with Harry, watched some TV, and then began to work on some notes that I had received earlier in the day from Kim about the BTS piece I submitted yesterday. I finished with the notes around 11:30pm. Hung out for some quality time with Harry until round 12:30am and finally said good night and went to sleep.

Comic Con 2009

Whoo hoo.. today I registered for San Diego Comic Con 2009. For the past six years I have gone to comic con. At first I would go as a guest of my friend Tom. But the past few years I have gone as my own professional. Which means I go for free because I work in the entertainment industry. I missed most of last years because of Family coming into town then and my wedding. So I am really looking forward to going this year. I've already booked my hotel room back in August and now I have my ticket.. I'm ready to geek out...

Editing The Guild BTS

I spent all day today about 14 hours editing a 10 minute piece for The Guild behind the scenes. I can't say what it was about but at the end of the day I was happy with the out come. I made a quicktime and sent it to my producer Kim Evey. Now I wait for notes and start working on my other pieces. 1 down many more to go.
