now I’m going to go back through the tapes and get the ones with glitches. Maybe it’s my camera. But as Carson pointed about his tools they may be malfunctioning be cause they are so new… LOL

Looks like I want to spend all my time on JBinNC. I think I may have something like 300 tiles left to manufacture. They are all little 32×32 pixel squares. For the most part all the animations are done. I still need to work on the little version of the protagonist. Which is to say the little character before it gets any power ups. I used the fetus as a bad guy already… After the smalll sized protagonist and the zillions of tiles are done I’d like to re-visit the backgrounds and throw in some high res versions of the baddies and maybe a few shand. After that the last step will be to make sure each board has the right music and backgrounds.

then I’ll be done! … I think

I think I’m gonna.  If only for a day.

I feel like the opening might have been deflating for some of the crew, I don’t know.  I was a little deflated.  I think the edit was rough for a lot of folks.  For starters.

Right now though I’m really really psyched that Jonny’s doing the tapes so everyone can go nuts with future editing.  I think more than a few of us down/up here are excited to get re-inflated by whatever new cuts appear.

I keep having to remind people that Disembody’s lifespan extends way beyond opening night, the run or even the theater.  Especially as new work based on the footage & misc. ephemera trickles in.

In time the Morgellon will just have been a set, captured on video, and disappointments & frustrations then shouldn’t have any bearing on the work’s future.

Except during the scene where people sit around gloomy and drunk, which might be the best part.  If there’s no footage we can fake it.

VEGAN CLAMATO BEER! which is to say hot sauce and beer. Tape 32 starts with: Carson spreading cream cheese on a bagel with a foam knife. The audio seems a little glitchy, but I’m so near the end of the tapes, which means it’s basically time to start capturing the stragglers.

this morning L.A. experienced a 5.8 earthquake. That’s not big, but it does shake things up.

Skye and I were in the basement, and the swaying was pretty serious.
And the animal fear that pumped into our systems was also pretty serious.
There is a very specific sensation that earthquakes trigger. And we had it in spades. We, along with everyone else in Chinatown, ran outside. Where, however, none of us stayed, because there were no aftershocks to speak of.

I am pleased to say that inside our wall still stood strong, no cracks in the puttied screen. The ceiling and chandelier are solid. The arcades chugged along, as did the webcam. Our installation survived unscathed.

Huzzah!
