That's a wrap!
It's a big day here at work. Not only is today the last day of shooting, but it's also media/open house day. It's now impossible to get in or out of my office, since the edititing suite has been set up for interviews, and the lounge has been set up as the waiting room for the tours groups that come through. They've got Episode 1 on loop to keep people entertained, which is almost certain to drive me completely bonkers by 5:00, since there's no door between my office and the lounge.
On the other hand, it's going to be very quiet around here come Monday. The animators and production staff will be gone until Season Two starts filming, and only the editors, directors, and VFX staff will be left. The studio will feel pretty empty, and I won't be able to bitch at the animators in person. Instead, I'll be wandering the empty animation bays, shaking my fists and yelling, "Why? WHY didn't you take two minutes to clean the dirt off of the puppet's face? Now it will take me hours to go through and paint it all out! Khaaaaaaaan!"
Tonight's the wrap party. Apparently, it's going to be held in some sort of arcade, where we'll have a steak dinner, watch the director's cuts of various episodes, and drink to a job well done. I'm sure there'll be other things as well, but that's all I know for sure. Nobody tells me anything. Like this morning, when they neglected to mention that call time wasn't until 11:00, and I was locked out of the building for an hour. The production directors tend to forget about post-production. A lot...
Steak dinner and drinks at an arcade? Wierd... But somehow a fitting send-off for the production staff.
