Well, I'm still waiting for my Bricklink order to arrive so that I can complete the smoker jail set for Scene 3, which is next on my schedule. I mailed the payment yesterday, so hopefully the guy got it today and maybe will send out the shipment tomorrow, which means I'd get it on Friday. Ugh. I'm now over a week behind schedule, but I'm starting to think that I'll just use the schedule as a tool to see which scenes I need to do at the same time with the same sets, etc. I highly doubt I'll really be able to "catch up" on my schedule at a later date. In reality I'll probably end up just getting farther and farther behind until I'll probably only have half the film done by the end of the summer which means that I'll still have to film ten minutes worth of it during school which will be impossible because....
Anyway, I finally did something productive today instead of mope. I started building a set for a random scene that I thought would be easy to film while I wait for my shipment to get here. It's the scene where Minono (the wizard guy) and That Darn Smoker are in a hotel room. It's a quick scene, so I might get it done before Friday.
As the proverb goes at the beginning of the book Touching Spirit Bear, "Fall down seven times, stand up eight." or something like that. That's basically my philosophy for the moment. As long as I can recover somehow from my extreme holdup, everything will sort itself out. Touching Spirit Bear is a rather odd book about this kid who gives this other kid brain damage by beating his head on the ground and then gets exiled to some remote island as punishment. Then he meets this "spirit bear" and has to learn how to survive alone in the wild. He ends up eating live mice and stuff, with the graphic description of, "He could feel the skull crunching in his mouth." Pshaw. Just pshaw.
