final climax
...almost in the clear, we finished the editing, credits, and titles and at 11:07pm. rendering would take approximately 20 minutes, putting us at the hotel at around midnight...
then terror strikes again.
something was wrong with the file, so we rendered the film again... and again... and again, changing different variables during the process.
i couldn't watch... roy and i kept going outside for nicotine breaks.
at 11:45pm i began to pray, literally. roy called up ira and told him about our situation, again. he said we'd have some time, and just to call when we got to the hotel.
we got a little cushion, but we needed to work fast. another 10 minutes passed and mark and roy have seemed to find the error. at 11:57pm the file is rendering beautifully, as we output it directly to the miniDV tape in the camera.
we zoomed to willowbrook and en route, rain began to pour down, making our journey that much more dramatic.
it was about 12:45am when we arrived at the hotel, and roy handed the tape and all the paperwork to ira. mark, roy, and i then proceeded to thank ira and tell him about all the trials and tribulations we went through this weekend. we shook hands with ira, and then congratulated each other on the completion of this project.
i probably could've cried at this moment, but i was too exhausted.
we did it.
