The panic attack has subsided. The demo reel is getting reasonably good feedback. It still doesn't stand up on its own but with an intro pitch verbally it seems to work. Most encouragingly people look quite excited by it which is always a good thing.
Had a good session with Christine re. sound. We're in reasonable shape to start sorting out the licensing agreements and the latest from Nicholas is that he's started working on the music for the film. Yay!
Looking forward to dropping my bags off and hitting the Crosiette. Four meetings set up, ironically the first one is with the UK Film Council, and I'm starting to feel that this trip may be worth it. *fingers crossed*
Time to pack... do I take my Twisted O'Reilly book or is that way too geeky? Decisions decisions...

Too much to do this week. I'm feeling overwhelmed by everything there is to do particularly around VFX. It wouldn't be so hard if there was some continuity but volunteers come and go, the old crew are all busy on other projects. It's one of those days.

Yesterday I finally got my Cannes accreditation. This supposedly means I've been deemed a professional film industry creature. Hah! If only they knew. Perhaps they simply lost my documentation, as I suspect, and google'd me. Which puts me in a far more favourable light obviously. Us web folk have an advantage when it comes to online marketing. Either way, I've jumped through the final hoop and off to France for a few days to talk re-mixable film-making with the industry. One sour note, my room buddy didn't get his accreditation, so I'll be out there on me own after all.
