If we could get a stack of different exit left, and some exit right shots of your car (not random dark coloured vehicles) travelling that would be brilliant. Also an exiting McDonalds shot, and exterior shot of your car in a Mc Donald's car park would be useful. There are a whole bunch of sequences where you're slowing down to pick up, or pulling away from a suburban location - more of those pickups would really help.

At 5am on little sleep, that's the main stuff which springs to mind. There's also a missing line from the poem which was never uploaded , could you deliver that to the rear vision mirror?

I've had limited time today, so I've incorporated Teague's re-shot footage and started to tighten the cut. The rough cut is almost complete, to finish blocking I need to figure out how to do the end sequence without it becoming tedious, and get the outstanding footage from anyone else who wants to include their stuff.

It would be great if we had more covering footage - exteriors, taking off, pulling in - but I think it's holding together pretty well with what Teague's managed to pull together by himself. Audio issues aside, realistically there's only so much that can be done with the wide range of formats and how tightly trimmed some of the source material is.

I'm hesitant to suggest it, but perhaps those involved can give feedback on pacing and scene count. What's working, what's not, and what are your suggestions.

I think Pavlich is trying to block out that experience.

Tonight's after-work / baby / dinner update. The end of sequencing is in sight, looking at the script there's probably 3 - 4 minutes of run-time to go.

Although there's still some footage to come in (the sequence missing cards) which will require that everything's re-timed, I can still begin to tighten things up, and start working on the rather exciting range of audio mixes we've recorded - Audition is going to get a work out.

Following that I'll look at how quickly I can get mattes in place to put in some background replacements - if that happens is likely to come down to how much time I get over the weekends. That figure is going to require some negotiation with my better half, and possibly some begging. It won't be pretty.

Finally it needs a grade, some titles, and some musical bits. When finished, we can move on to our next project.

Quick update in between work and looking after a small child. There's still a lot more to add, and once complete assume a whole mess of clean up, leveling, grading, replacements, etc. Sequence missing indicates footage is unavailable.

I am becoming increasingly intimidated by how good you buggers are.

Thanks Drew, Zarban it looks like a codec issue on my end - will keep looking for a solution.

Quick update:

Jim - I can't import your footage into Premiere, and can't open it in VLC either. Could you re-export and re-upload?

Zarban - I'm having trouble with some of your clips (Derek's too). If I give you the file names that are causing grief, could you re-render?

In the context of a fictionalised story, yes.

Going through the footage. You guys are awesome.

Don't thank me yet, this could be an unwatchable mess. I just want the project closed (lanced?), like everyone else, so we can move on with the next thing.

Right. 14GB of transfers queued from the FTP.

We have the following empty directories:

• DK

• Drew

• Seth

• Spork

Upload if you've got your stuff, or Spork is getting a lot more screen time.

I assume that's the episode where Yoda visits the red light district in Holland?

Eddie, I love the fuck out of you presenting. Do that more - point them the way you want them to go, and nudge them along to drive discussion with questions.

Does anyone else want to hang out with Eddie and drink beer at this point?
