After a little early morning canoodling, Linds has passed out and I'm up pondering my day. I forgot to write yesterday that last month was our 6 month anniversary together. It may not sound like a long time but after nearly 10 years of not having nor wanting a girlfriend, it is. I got done playing the field in my 20s and now I'm here for the long haul with this great girl.
She got glasses last week. Guess what? She's cuter.
I'm working on a horrendous shot for "I, Robot" right now. It's all I'm gonna think about all weekend. I hate it when I bring work home. I think it's my last bit of work for this show but it's gonna take days. Now, days isn't long in movie effects time but this particular shot is swimming in tedium. The bummer about it (and also the cool part about it) is that if I do my job right, not a soul will ever know I even did anything. So much of effects work is just that: invisible effects that fix something production doesn't like, for example, and it's completely unsung work. It's not flashy like dinosaurs and tidal waves. But just about every single movie we see today has them. "Hey, a boom mic dipped into the scene." Digitally removed. "We don't like that sky." Digitally replace. "That guy? We don't want him to talk." Digital mouth replacement. And it happens in just about every TV show now as well. Just think about that next time you're watching "Gilmore Girls".
