Hey you, this is caliblog, all of this is based on a true story... all of this is our lives my life in a nutshell.

the last week

posted on Sunday, June 11, 2006 by

I was going to do a video post to catch up on the last week that we've been gone - but at the moment, I'm importing footage I took during the pilot. And since that would take another two hours to finish... I didn't want to keep people waiting.


When we got home around 2 in the morning on the 10th, I was feeling fairly good about the footage we got and the story that unfolded while out on the road. The crew seemed pretty happy also - but I was unsure if that was them being polite or genuinely happy with the shoot.

It wasn't until around 11 o'clock on the 10th, after a few hours of sleep, while I was at LAX, Matt, the producer, left a voicemail saying that he had talked to the guys and they were very happy with the footage. They were positive there was a "solid pilot". Matt seemed more excited than I would have ever guessed he might be, so that was a relief - this being the first project with money and a producer involved... it just takes any experience you might have had in the past and leaves you feeling unsure of what you're doing. But... it appears that I didn't fumble the project too badly.



There is more that I wanted to get into - but I think I'll just wait and do a video post after getting some breakfast and letting this pilot-footage finish importing. If you want to read more on what happened - go to Project Pedal and read the post from June 5th to the 9th.
