Lost most of the week to data recovery business. The LAN server is toast. Ordered a new box to get things up and running again as soon as possible. Early feedback on the Cannes trailer video is promising. I want to spend much of the next fortnight improving the package.
I had a dream last night probably influenced by the round of test screenings I conducted at the NFT bar on Friday night.
I was in a cavernous amphitheatre high up in the stalls being introduced to George Lucas. After a round of pleasantries he asked me what I did so I invited him to look at the Sanctuary trailer I happened to have in my handbag on Sony PSP. He accepted but then things went pear-shaped. As I mashed the PSP buttons to start the video in record time I found myself ploughing through configuration settings for a different operating system. Somehow I'd managed to switch the device to freak-out mode and the video player wasn't having any of it. George looked on patiently but after five minutes of frantic and increasingly jittery button presses, he politely excused himself and moved on. Given that you have to jump through a few hoops simply to playback a non-UMD video on the PSP I woke up thinking that was an interesting omen. We'll see...
