I finished off the last of the effects I had to do a while ago.  I just made a disc that contains 66 shots that have been enhanced since the test screening at puppet fest.  I’m declaring interim victory, because I still reserve the right to look over the whole movie tomorrow and see if there is anything else that needs to be done, that can be done tomorrow.  Staying home from work Tuesday remains a possibility, though I’d like to save my personal days for film festivals and such, if I can.

It seems every time I deliver an FX disc to Adam there are 65-70 shots on it — obviously with some overlap from disc-to-disc.  This got me curious, so I did a search for all the avis in my “Gallery of Doom” directory on my hard drive.  Lots of files came up.  I weeded through the ones that were actual shots, and the ones which were tests or backups.  The grand total of FX shots for this movie turns out to be 115.  It’s amazing what one can do with a year’s worth of spare time, just a few hours a night.

OK, sleep now.
