Oct. 5th, 2006 11:56 amI have a negative bank balance for the first time. I am not pleased; I mailed in my deposit six days ago. Gonna call em and see if I can learn more. (I just did; they don't know anything about it. Sigh.)
If there's any time to kiss the bottom of the barrel I guess it's now, the week that I start earning money again. I have decided that I will give WedThuFri over to contract work, at least until circumstances direct otherwise.
Yesterday went well. I mostly sat and watched another fellow create a sandbox environment on the PC I'll be using. This took a long time, and I wrote more here about why it took a long time but then I remembered that I'm under an NDA and I should probably cool it. (I think this is the first time I've been under NDA while actively blogging. Fairly certain that Harvard didn't much care what you talked about.) Anyway, I'm mostly set up now, or anyway set up enough to start learning the system. This will take weeks, probably.
Yesterday's Gameshelf shoot was great. Due to unexpected drama knocking an hour off the schedule we had time only to shoot Werewolf and the opening skit, but it all went very well. You'll like it. Even the grumpy crew commented repeatedly about what a good shoot it was. Don't expect a finished show this month, though. We still need to shoot the host segments, and then I need to edit it together. As I have already written, I want to put this to one side and concentrate on Volity. Not for nine months again, but for a little bit.
The drama came about because a wooden clothespin holding a filter in front of a studio light caught fire. Nobody noticed this, but the smoke detector sure did, and so did the subsequent firefighters. I took the singed pin home; an interesting memento.
Also interesting: among the crowd of firemen who showed up was a fire chief, and he was dressed in the usual garb except where the others' heavy clothes and helmets were the usual black-and-yellow, his was all white, including a white helmet. It was oddly cinematic.
