CreMo Progress Report - Day 19
Feb. 19th, 2011 01:04 pmGoal:
Write chapter 24.2, ideally get it shot and published too, but we'll see how it goes.
Progress:
Outline: First outline done, subject to revision as I write.
First draft: Done. Stands at 204 slides, not including the credit slide.
First edit: Done. Taken the shooting script up to 210 slides
Shooting: Started 6/210 slides done.
Second edit: not started.
Final edit: not started.
Upload.
Publish.
Thoughts:
A couple of things today. Firstly I knew that the first edit would be huge and it was. I completely reworked some things and made other scenes bigger so that they flowed better. However this means that my shooting script has broken 17k. That is massive and I'm worried about uploading it all as one part. What I'm thinking of doing is seeing how i go with the shooting, and if I decide to split some slides (likely). I'll then see if I can split the chapter into two, and upload both parts together. That way, if my readers are so inclined they can read both parts together, but it's not required.
Secondly shooting isn't going so well, and at the moment I'm doubtful that I can get finished. I started shooting on Thursday, but unfortunately, I've also managed to get sick. Yay, go me! Therefore shooting on Thursday was slow, and I only got 6 pictures done. Then there is the fact that I've had ongoing problems with my computer since I got in in September. I went 10 days without the system crashing and so was feeling good about it. Thursday and Friday I opened the sims four times. Three of those times resulted in the system crashing on me before I had even managed to load a lot. Yesterday I'd had enough; I'd spoken to my local computer shop in the morning who said they'd need to look at it to determine the problem, and so last night, after it had crashed while I was loading Lauri's lot to make her card, I decided to swap from that computer back to my five year old, reliable Compaq. So, after spending hours transferring everything over I'm back on my lovely compy and hopeful that I can start making progress. It may be a lot slower than the monster, but at least I know it's not going to go splat on me. I'll take the monster to the computer shop and see if they can work out what's wrong, and we'll go from there.
