a looking-glass book

success!

this might not look like much.

but it is frames of a movie, a qt file, pulled out dynamically on the server.

this is the culmination of over two months of trying to get this working on a server. this could not have been done with help from the developer, todd kirby, and marientina.

this bodes very well for much of what i want to do.

in looking at my production schedule, i am a little behind in coding (about a week) but i think that is made up for in movies. i have missed only 2 days since about the start of this month. i have 81 movie files, 99% of which will be published in the coming weeks. i do not know how many hours this is, but i do not fear hitting the magic 200 hour mark.

much of my backend code needs to be rewritten in the next week to allow for these new thumbnails. this will speed publishing and once this new code is in, things will move very very quickly - ill be able to publish a day after filming with very little post (basically compressing the movie and uploading it to the server - a much easier process than the current one).

even if i lag behind by a week, with spring break and gdc approaching, i will catch right back up to my production schedule with no worries. i am glad i gave myself some production wiggle room then. of course, there is still much to be done. but isnt that always the case?
