Trying to satisfy people nowadays is like trying to get blood from a stone. Especially when you've been left to do everything yourself because everyone else has jumped ship no thanks to the people you trusted leaving you in the shit thanks to their attitude problems.
As you regular readers to this blog may know, I've been working on a feature for the past - well technically six years. Ten months ago I started filming and was excited as I was finally seeing the script begin to come alive.
But if I seriously knew what shit I was to experience over the following ten months, I wouldn't have bothered.
I've had a few people give me a hand where help's been needed, but all I've had is nothing but grief and you know what I'm frigging bouncing over it.
Since being left in the lurch thanks to my producer causing the trouble she caused. I've been left to do the editing, sound mixing, edit logs and everything else as well as juggle my personal life and a full time job and what thanks have I got from anyone? Sweet fuck all! I've had nothing but grief from those who've jumped ship and you know what? I'm very tempted to dump the frigging lot and start from scratch because seriously who the hell do you think you are?
You knew the situation from the start and yet I'm getting moaned at because things are not getting done to their schedules. Well excuse me! My schedule went out of the window when I was shit on from a great height and left to pick up the pieces.
So here's one for you. Go film a full feature with promises I had before they were broken, work with the grief I've had to deal with, shoot a film without support and a budget, then sit through over fifteen hours of footage which has to be logged, uploaded to an edit suite and then edited, sound mixed, CGI added, colour graded and then some while you work up to 12 hours a day in full time job while juggling your personal life as a single parent - then maybe I'd listen to your rants. Until then, stop giving me grief over what others have done. Let me get on with things. I am busting my balls trying to get this to work. I don't care some of you are unhappy with what you've seen so far especially when its untreated footage - seriously what do you expect?
Due to peer pressure and total disregard for the work I've put in, I've recalled the untreated footage I've had sent away to be processed (more time wasted) for everyone to view. I don't care if they approve or disapprove of the footage because I'm past caring and seriously what do you expect?
Although, I will thank those who have continued to help me in which way they could. At least you understand what I've had to deal with.
