So, I fly out last Thursday night and got to my hotel at about 2am my time(eastern).
I stayed up a bit working on the presentation and materials I was to be showing the studio that day, and got to bed at about 4am (again my time)


So I have a west coast breakfast of gram pancakes, egg whites, and fruit (yeah I am in Hollywood, and when in Rome .. btw, does that rule only apply just when you are in Rome or other cities as well? ) Anyway, I head over to the ABC building in Burbank to meet with the studio. the meeting went great and the studio is very positive and excited about the project. My deadline to finish Trenches is April 30. You guys keep me on this but don't push me to hard... I am fragile and could break :)


Trenches is being colored on a Da Vinci 2K System, pretty amazing technology. I am fascinated and love the final process of post production. To me that is where it all comes together and the film takes it's true life. The art of color and finishing is amazing to me and so important. As is music and sound design. hell every little bit that makes it happen. It all adds up and makes a film what it is when you finally get to see it.
After this session I had another 2 hour meeting with my FX Post team heads, and then we all went for some dinner. After that long day I simply went back to my hotel, watched some "Entourage", (love that series) and then crashed.
Saturday morning I got up early, had a quick breakfast with my good friend and writer for Trenches, Peter Robinson, then off to LAX, and I was back home. A fast whirl wind tour and then back to work on Monday. That's the latest for me. So you see it's not all glamorous guys. It's just me trying to do a job and be proud of what I am doing so I can give you guys something I hope you and I both enjoy.

IN OTHER NEWS - TRENCHES
A few weeks back there was some news put out by the Hollywood Reporter that Trenches was finished but delayed to release from Stage 9. This simply is not the cast or accurate. I WISH I was done with Trenches, but the fact is I am still working on the film and no delays are due to WGA strikes or Disney at this time. the only delay is Shane is still working to finish it :)
Here is a better article by Chris Albrecht that has the facts more clear on the subject.
Also, it looks like I will be going for a day to the Farpoint convention to show a few things and talk about Trenches. So if you are in the Baltimore, MD area February 16, I should be there.
Their other guests include:
James Callis (Battlestar Galactica)
Marina Sirtis (Star Trek:TNG)
Erin Gray (Buck Rogers in the 25th Century)
