It's done!!!

Kinda. There is still editing that needs to occur. The scheduling was intense all week but we made it through and I even managed to get my school work in. Overall I'm very happy with the project. There were plenty of things that could have gone better but it was a huge, difficult project and the fact that we pulled it off is an accomplishment in itself. I haven't gotten a chance to see it back yet and I really can't wait. :) Now I clean up, relax, recover, and edit the first scene.

It was only a matter of time

I blame the bad influence of certain writers for the existence of this blog. I have my livejournal for personal stuff and this blog for the projects that like to go pouring out my ears. Speaking of, I have a producer to drop of and a space ship to build.

Cheers.
