Update #013 – Aftermath

YTG UPDATES Jekyll & Hyde Showcase

As usual, I found myself totally overloaded
Marie was a huge help
But not enough time to both finish the show and do the heavy promotion needed
- I was the one programming Isadora and the lighting console
No all-nighters, but some late nights
Kind of worth it; the visuals were pretty stunning given the low budget
- I hope to be able to spend time in the theatre before May to play with other possibilities
- Want to experiment with floor projection
- May even buy a third projector, though not sure I can run it off the same computer, which would be a problem
Low audience turnout, even online
Great feedback sessions
- Real food for thought
Some complaints about the video sources looking like stock photos– of course, those were the ones that I delegated— that’ll teach me to delegate, right?
I’m still processing; haven’t done a post-mortem yet
Solid base for moving into summer show
Feeling pretty burnt out and scrambling to catch up with everything this week… and actually probably all of April

Other YTG

I need to start intern wrangling for the summer
From April 10, I will have 4 interns that I can use
I need to list all the projects and see what they can help with; possibly wrangling the other interns is one of them
Had a chat with Tanja Råman from Taikabox about doing a live show performed simultaneously with an artist here and her in Finland.
Need to set up a meeting with her and Yanomi Shoshinz (Miss Hiccup)
Will look for funding sources

OTHER

Sakura shoot tomorrow. Need to scout the shoot area today to make sure there are still blossoms in those areas.

Netflix project moving forward; there are some challenges as I’ve been hired to replace another actor, but not told why he was replaced– but I’m matching his performance
Big cashflow crunch right now as the Netflix job won’t pay out until the end of May (actually, that’s very quick for that kind of work)
- Kind of scrambling to make ends meet
Taxes are delayed
All other work is delayed
Kid is out of school until next Friday, and I want to spend at least two days, maybe three with him next week
Week after, I go into the recording studio and the two new interns arrive
Feeling really overloaded
Will try to get back onto an early-in-the week schedule for this recording, but it’s going to be a struggle.
It’s important to me to have one thing that is consistent and that I can finish.
