Monotony

Little things, every day.
We live, we work, we play.
Emancipation.

Nocturnal creatures plow the night,
Doing stuff they thing is right.
Endeavoring.

Andrew is currently in a comatose state.
All he's dreaming of is his bed.
Entrancing.

Separating life from dreams.
Wake up silly goose.
Monotony.

- Andrew.


I'm feeling dead beat now. It sucks when you have lots of work to do, but it sucks more when you have lots of work to do, but can't do it.
It sucks even MORE when everybody is enjoying a blissful holiday, while you're slogging off for a few cents at work.

I'll only be having my personal MacG5 in the office 3 weeks from now. Even then, it'll take a few days to configure the computer before it can actually be usable.


The editor always wants the best of everything - reality TV, live telecasts, fast-paced action, raw, live action.
But the problem is that we only have a four-person team.

FOUR people. Each one of us does :
1) Logistics
2) Shooting (filming)
3) Digitizing
4) Editing
5) HTML scripting (for uploading on the website).

Most production houses and TV stations have a separate team for EACH section. (emphasise "Team" and "Each Section").

And they have WEEkS to put everything together before it actually goes on screen.

We barely have a few days to go through all the 5 processes to come up with the final product. While the editor keeps pushing for the highest professional standards possible - RE: American Idol, Babel, Saving Private Ryan.

- In a very very short time span (1-3 days)
- With only 2 workstations (for 4-5 events concurrently running)
- While filming events
- (for me) Do photo albums

I think I'm a genius in film production already (for my age) - considering I know all the processes inside-out.

I think so far, while working at STOMP, I've got at least 30 videos to put in my portfolio already...

THIRTY VIDEOS. That is almost THREE times the total amount of videos I've done in entire LIFE.

all in a span of 100 days.

jeez. what am I working for??....
somebody remind me again.... =/
