Narration took a lot longer than I thought it would. The narrator was absolutely fantastic; the issue was with me underestimating the time required to complete that section. Considering its now 11:55PM, I’ll just go to bed and continue with the editing tomorrow. I expect the movie to be out by Friday at the latest.

I’ve also been cutting down bits here and there of the documentary, in order to speed up the pace a little bit. That said, all those cuts I’ve made only amount to shortening the film by 5 minutes. lmfao.

Okay, the sequencing is complete. Without narration and so forth, the movie is 1h48 long. So what’s left to do?

• Performing Narration (2 hours)
• Putting in stock filler + Narration (2 hours)
• Adding in Animations (4 hours)
• Generating Music (Unknown)
• Rendering!

I think this screenshot best expresses how much time I’ve invested:

There’s been an XSS vulnerability for Invisionboard that’s been spreading like wildfire across all installs over the last few days.

Attempts have been made against all IvB boards I attend at. Because I had an older version, the attack was succesful on my forums.

I have thus taken down the forums for the time being.

I got this idea from the Spread Firefox NY Times campaign:

Anyone who donates $10 or more will get their name listed in the end credits of the documentary. All those who donated before today already have their names included. Donations must be submitted by May 2nd, 2006, for the names to make the cut.

You can donate here.

Well, sequencing has taken alot less time than I thought it would. My script basically has 7 pages of timecodes, telling me to put what where. It really takes the brainwork out of the equation.

I thought this stage would take me a week, but now I see that should only take a few days. Now if only Canada Post will deliver footage that’s being sent to me on time!

On another note, I’m beginning to question the length of the movie: as is, I predict that it’ll last over 2 hours. Though that’s less than some of my university lectures, I wonder if it will be too long for the audience.
