Which?

It was a wonderful 24 hours. Tom, Tony and I (with help from Lynn Ruth, Dennie and Mike) had to do it all! We planned, filmed and edited. We missed the rest of you. It is easy, in hindsight, to think we might have done some things differently, but with only 24 hours you just have to keep plowing ahead. I like the movie we made, and now we have to get all our friends and colleagues to vote for it so we end up in the top 25 nation-wide. Tony will be providing information on how the voting can be done. I'm looking forward to working with the whole team this coming weekend. It would be nice to have a mid-week meeting to talk about the assets we have available for the weekend. Tony promises to blog about our Insomnia experience, and I can't wait to hear what he has to say. There wasn't much time for taking photos, but I did see him snap a few.

It's a good thing that today is Sunday, because if I had to be at work, I'd probably fall asleep in the Dolby lunch room. I'm so tired. My eyes are still throbbing from last night. Making a movie in 48 hours is one thing, but making one in 24 hours is quite something else. Tom, Sig, and I did just that, and what a great experience it was. With the help of Lynn Ruth Miller, Denny Vann, and Mike Eyvazov, we were able to create a film that asks the question, "Which?" Which witch will prevail? Which spell will win over? Once our video is officially posted on the Apple website and the competition gets underway, you will be able to find the answer to these questions! Below is a bullet point chronology of our day. Please note that the times are rough estimates.
