Busy, Busy, Busy

Not a lot of time to chat today — I’m in the middle of a tightly packed shooting day for one of the three videos we’ve got to get produced this month (actually four, if you count the one that we just signed in). So far, all is going well (though I’m concerned about audio capture in a few instances — we may have to try “looping” some dialogue next week), and we’ve even managed to work around the rain that botched up some of our planned outdoor shooting.

Alas, we’ve as yet been unable to tape our “special guest” — and while our client is still convinced it’ll happen, I’m a little wary. After all, the script from which we’re working pretty much depends on having that guest’s appearance as the “punch line.” And to tell the truth, I’ll be a little disappointed if we have to shoot that appearance after next Tuesday — since in that case, I’ll have to assign Adam and Ginny to do the taping. I’m sure they’d do a fine job, but what upsets me is that I won’t get to meet the guest myself (I hate repeatedly referring to him as just “the guest,” but I’m not quite ready to let the cat out of the bag — at least not here).

Hey, I know the finished product’s the most important thing, but I think I’m allowed a little unadulterated self-interest.

Well, gotta get back to work — lots more shooting to go.
