Sound

On at least five occasions, we forgot to turn on the microphone. Needless to say, it played a large role in our late submission.

This year was a blast, and definitely the most fun we had yet. Any word on the Audience Favorite Award announcements?

I'm still boggled by the fact that you can't see peoples posts until after you leave a comment. How can we discuss what happened if we can see each others posts?

We were in Group D. My favorites were the foreign film (w/ the teeth), the film about the wife and electrician that kill the husband, and the film with the three dudes as one (the sad one). Peace out.

The Final Moments

First off I want to say a huge thank you to all of you on Team Gutternails for working so tirelessly this weekend. You all were amazing and the final project definitely shows that.

I had such a great time and cant wait to do it again some day...but first I need to catch up on some sleep.

So after having to abandon the Holiday Inn at 3pm to move hotels for the rest of my stay here I lost a bit of time.
John spent the day siphoning out music cues at an amazing pace...even with all of my last minute changes he was on the ball.
However I managed to get everything finished in time to do my outputs and a little coloring. I hope I didn’t forget anyone in the credits...If I did I am truly sorry and I owe you big time.

I finished the movie and started exports right on time at 6pm. As always the computer wanted to make things interesting so it failed my first export...which required a second output. Running short on time I grabbed the laptop and headed for the turn in location. A Big Thanks here to Josh and Dominick who saved the day by staying with me...they pulled the car around and we sped off at 7:00pm. In the haste I stupidly forgot the folders with all the paperwork back in the hotel room. While the computer was still exporting Josh and Dom dropped me off at the Palms and headed back to the hotel to get the paperwork. Dominick discovered that smoking does impede ones ability to run and breathe. The jumped in front of a bus, which ran into him and he still didn’t slow down and got the paperwork back to me on time. Yes I said he got hit by a bus to make sure the project got in on time.
While sitting at the desk to turn in the project with a full 25 mins to spare I began to burn the disk...7 mins later it failed. So I started again. I almost had to turn in the entire computer. The DVD spit out at exactly 7:30...in on time.
And right then Dominick came running up with the docs.

What a whacky and wild adventure my friends and I am so glad you all were so fantastic and such a pleasure to work with.

I hope you are well rested today...I am sure not but hey.

RED Camera, great cast, great crew, done way ahead of time because of it.

See you all on Thursday at 7pm.

I had a number of people contact me on Friday night asking me for cast & crew help.

Why don't they open this site up a few days before so I can help you all out?
