We've both been busy on the road up here, so, for just a little more detail, let me just say that New York, N.Y., is a heck of a town.
Some people call it "the city that never sleeps."
Sometimes, our GFX team never sleeps, either.
After two days of "Professional Encounter," we've arrived in East Rutherford, N.J., ready to jump into event setup with both feet! Except, possibly, for a team of fearless individuals who have gone above and beyond to make the coming event a success.
That's right… getting notes back on the opener meant MORE ROTOSCOPING.
For most of CCM, it meant going back to the drawing board on some clips, cleaning up others, and re-doing the effect we're layering on top of the masks.
And, once again, CCM is getting it done.
Some photos of our youth-hostel turned edit bay probably look chaotic…
Yup, that's a set of lockers turned on its side as a desk
Three workstations on one bed. And the top bunk was, I believe, for quick naps.
Also, cardboard boxes make excellent workstations.
But the work that went on there was a frighteningly fast turnaround on fixes and re-workings that were finished to a professional caliber.
As Anna, our newest intrepid blog contributor, posted a moment ago, this weekend is going to be jam-packed with work, fun, and awesome opportunities to touch this generation. And you can watch it all go down on your satellite provider with GodTV, or streaming live at God.TV.
In the meantime… Our professional encounters are flat-out amazing. So far, we've had sessions with an actor/acting coach, a dance and stage movement teacher, and a producer for CNN's "Joy Behar Show," as well as a tour of NBC Studios, which means pictures at 30 Rockefeller Center. Not to mention that we've now seen Times Square, Broadway and a diner with a spectacular singing waitstaff.
(And props to Hell's Kitchen Pizza for the best deal on New York pizza in the Hell's-Kitchen-to-Times-Square area -- a prize our group actually had a little competition to find.)
CCMers show up in Times Square, ready for those flashing lights
And unlike, say, the Saturday Night Live set, this is actually BIGGER in person.
Stay tuned for more from New Jersey! "Dress rehearsal" is up tonight, with just over a day until the event goes live!
