I think the real question is "will it ever be?"

Couple of months back Rose4Emily said something about the project being done before the end of the world. So yeah, that prophecy still holds true.

I'd give a prediction, but I'm afraid of jinxing it for like, the fifth time.

:makes mental note to email Rose about pictures sometime today:

I thought a conversation from a favorite game parody of mine would be appropriate to sort of parody the situation over here

-Base this is Alpha, do you copy?

-Copy what?

-Uh, base, have you been calling us?...

-What? Oh, yes, yes, well you see we have a party here.

-Yeah, we could tell. Uh... well, you see, we had a little accident and you know how those things go so I'm not gonna get into that but... we need some supplies and we need them soon. Like, very soon.

-Roger that Alpha, supplies are on their way - ETA sometime between now and the Apocalypse.

-Apocalypse? Isn't that a long time?

-[ShhSHHEssHHHsHhhh] I can't hear you Alpha, you're breaking up!

-I said, ISN'T THAT A LONG TIME?

-[sHHSSshhhhSHHHshhhHHH] Transmission terminated.

-Phew, I thought this conversation was never gonna end!

-It didn't!

But eh, here's to hoping that the conversation indeed didn't end. I think rose was saying something along the lines of this month - hope he'll deliver. It's very unfortunate we didn't get it out back in winter when the encoding problems hit.

Okay everyone - I'm back!

I've finally finished finals, moved home, and settled in - and am now taking care of the final details of the project. I was set back a few days by some outdoor projects - preparing garden beds for rose bushes, sometimes in the rain - but am now back on track.

I also found a couple of scripts that I thought I had lost. This is a good thing, since I thought I'd have to spend time recreating them (and figuring out how I did it the first time, since it's been so long). I no longer have to worry about that. Now I just need to run or two a day when I'm away from the computer, and take care of a little more image compositing, and it'll be done before next Monday.

I'll be running the last of the scripts for the fullscreen section tonight (rendering the 13'37" narrative) and tomorrow morning (the joining and encoding script). As I finish the rendering and editing of each piece of the widescreen section, I'll post a status update so you all won't have to be in the dark any longer as to what has and has not been completed. I'll also share the results of a cross-platform test of the full-length Fullscreen join once I've had a chance to play the file on a few different computers. You'll probably be seeing that late tomorrow or early Wednesday.

Anyhow, the project and I are both alive and well, and I (finally) say with confidence that the long wait is very near its end.

---

BTW - As to the DVD version of the project:

Should I also encode each "piece" of the project as an MPEG2 file for the creation of the DVD, or should I just send lossless versions of the narratives, intro, and credits and leave the encoding to Bakadeshi. I can pretty easily go either way, but need to know as soon as possible so I can prepare the necessary encoding scripts for those files as well as the "online" distribution.

:stifles the urge to jump up and down:

I will send you the new credit picture tomorrow night. If you plan to render the credits before then, go right ahead and use the old pictures - trust me, I won't mind.

And by the way, I read Faulkner's "A Rose for Emily" the other day. I must say that you've got an interesting choice of name...
