So, I’ve been set to do this seemingly impossible task for work within a horrible timeframe.
Feels a lot like school. Except I’m getting paid to do this.
I’ve never been to an audition before. It was upsetting. A grotesque carnival of human misery.

Steve Martin used to work as a magician at Disneyland.
Seeing well-known, successful actors working jobs like these makes me happy.
EXCELLENT.
The PA who works with me quit her job today. No warning, no hint that she was even remotely thinking of quiting. Just straight up QUIT.
That means double the work for me.
<sarcasm>YAY.</sarcasm>
Also, do you know what a bitch it was to take down all those Halloween decorations throughout the studio, just the two of us? A BITCH. Now, Christmas is coming up…I will effing deck the halls with something, and it AIN’T BOUGHS OF HOLLY.
The animatic from the Childhood Sequence in The Brothers Bloom. As it stands so far, this film is my second favorite of the year, behind only (500) Days of Summer. It’s only available now for rental on Blu-Ray and DVD, and if you’re ambitious you can find it for purchase now or wait until it’s officially available in early 2010.
Yay! Animatics!
Part of my job includes creating storyboards straight from the animatic to send to the editors as well as transcribing dialogue and sound effects for each frame.
Cat won the Halloween costume contest at the studio
I don’t want to toot my own horn, but I will—IT IS ALL THANKS TO ME.
She was super depressed in the morning because the costume was falling apart. Both of us have been working long hours on the season finale, so neither of us had time to work on it during the week. She was ready to quit. And I did my best to cheer her up and make due with what we had. We found industrial velcro in the warehouse, and I helped her fix the powerloader that we built together. It was good as new.
She won a $100 visa gift card, and she’s taking me out to lunch. Woot.
