Frustration land

There is frustration in the air, it has been there all week and it is slowly driving me mad. Nothing works, if feels like all I do is wait. I can’t go anywhere cause something might happen, I might be needed, I can’t let these people down. We have so much to do, but we never seem to have all the components to actually be able to do it. It is so frustrating and so maddening.

We finally got a Printfabriken as a sponsor for our print yesterday. A huge relief I tell you, we had just about decided to just print everything here at school and were all very depressed when they called me back. But now everything is jammed again (of course) because there is no communication. Not one that works anyways. Not between us, the press group, and the design group; responsible for the poster design, and not between us and the teachers; who are away in Stockholm and has to clear everything before we go to print.

Now I am going to get the press release done at least, although I have no great pictures to put in it, not even after both mailing everyone about it, and asking around. But then my mail have been bouncing mails for some reason, so a lot of mail have probably been lost.

I am not in a happy place right now.

Ah... I love the smell of deadline in the evening

It’s a cold and clear deadline night and there is that certain buzz that only people on a deadline, long after they usually go home and it is dark outside, can produce. Most of us aren’t very useful, just hanging around in case we might be, supporting the ones still struggling.

We are doing an animation in After Affects, I have done frames of moving hands and brick walls, and all the key frames of the little white gnome-thing and now I am just hanging around, waiting for the whole thing to be put together. I am very curious to see how Kasper has managed to time it, and how Johannes and Fredrik’s sound effects will match the whole thing. I am a bit afraid that they will sound to videogame like…

Alva helped me do the last frames, something I am very grateful for, might have cracked otherwise.
And now there is only waiting. Tomorrow we will hold the presentation, and then I will spend the weekend trying to make my own 15 sec piece.
