woolgathering

Do not ever underestimate stop motion videos.
2 weeks, we're barely even done. Currently, we have over 4,000 photos for at least 12 different scenes.
Still trying to sort through/ pick the right ones for final editing.
Thank God for the deadline extension.
I doubt we could finish by this coming Monday.
Bear in mind the video is supposed to be only a minute long.

Work for the past week was slightly insane, OT-ed everyday because we have a tender deadline coming up for the working drawings of the Palace hotel refurbishment. And they have A LOT of rooms. 2 plans + 10 elevations for each. I don't even have time to go out for lunch.
And honestly, when I come home, I'm too beat to even go out for dinner, let alone sit in front of my lappy editing photos after photos.
And yet, that is exactly what I'm doing.

By sheer luck (again?), this book I wanted (which is slightly pricey) happened to be on sale in Kino (book of the month!) and I, of course, nabbed it without a second thought. Buahaha. Awesome.

"hubris, n.

Everytime I call you mine, I feel like I'm forcing it, as if saying it can make it so. As if I'm reminding you, and reminding the universe: mine. As if that one word from me could have that kind of power."

Anyway, the word 'hubris' actually means overbearing presumption or arrogance. And his example is so interesting... :S I honestly never would have thought of it that way. I suppose that's why he's an author and I'm not.
