So it turned out I ran out of several essentials today, including toilet paper and coffee. Shooting plans were derailed to take a short shopping trip. Which by bus means 4 fucking hours. I gotta get me a man with a car. :P It is now 5:30pm, and I have to get up at 5am, so I most likely won't get much done tonight. I prefer to shoot at times when I can get the whole scene done at once. It helps with continuity if I don't turn off the camera. I now feel like I am just making excuses for why I have not finished the video yet.
On a sad note, the babel fish died. I noticed the yellow paint was flaking off in the water, so I attempted to remove him with my tweezers. He mushed badly. He became pasty white goo with flaky yellow bits. I am guessing he wasn't made of plastic as I had presumed. I have 3 more. I have a feeling if I attempt to use them they will suffer the same fate as Anatrax (the original babel fish). He hasn't been in the last few scenes as I couldn't figure out how to place him organically to the scene. I replaced the fish reference with a stone with the Roman numerals for 42 on it for those scenes. I really wanted to add him in again for the book scenes that are coming up. Maybe I will risk it and in the credits pay tribute to the non plastic plastic fish mushed during the making of the video. It really is kind of gross looking.
Ok, I am going to set this up, and if I feel I have time I will shoot it, and if not I will wait until I have enough time to do the whole thing.
Back to work. :)
