The deadline was today.
Having had a slight hiccup last night when my laptop decided to freeze on me just as I finished the Appendix which meant I lost the entire Appendix I had just done - I was still able to get it all finished printed out, bound and handed in by 1:30 - I'm knackered!

Major Project Unit: Deadline
STRESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I had to move Macs today and in doing so something disrupted my sound and I had to spend the best part of two hours fixing it!
People had managed to guilt trip me all day over the fact that I hadn't been able to get an empty DVD case to put the episode into so when it said it would take 50 minutes to export I dashed to Morrisons to buy the cheapest DVD I could find to use the packaging. I could back just as the project finished exporting so I had 15 minutes to burn the episode onto the DVD - I did this but just as it got to 5 minutes before deadline all the Macs slowed down.
Luckily I managed to get the DVD finished and boxed dead on 5o'clock but Simon wasn't happy, then again neither was I - but I did make the deadline.
I will now spend the next 4/5 days completing my report and making sure it is finished by Tuesday night so that I can get it bound Wednesday so it can be handed in in the afternoon!

Major Project Unit: Intro/Credits
Today I've been working on my opening titles.
I tried it three different ways this was the first that I made, the one I decided on to use for my episode is similar to this but slightly more animated and longer.

Major Project Unit: Edit Sound
I've finished the sound effects today - I just hope they're all as smooth as the gunshots that Dan put in for me in scene 12.
I've also had to put in a visual clip of the radio playing the inspiring track "Goodbye Earl" so as to not leave a large empty space on screen and to get the audience to focus on the song lyrics.
I did try to animate the radio screen to have it scroll but it never seemed to quite fit so I've just left it as a still.

Major Project Unit: Edit Sound
I've been working on my sound effects today, I've been downloading the sounds I need off of Free sound.org - great website and easy to use!
At one point today Dan Baugh drifted by and I was able to nab him so that he could work his magic and put in some proper visual gunshots to help make scene 12 more realistic. He said it would take 10 minutes (it was more like 25) but he did it and it works perfectly, Dan Baugh is magnificent!
I just have a few sounds to add on tomorrow and then I can focus on the credits.
