January 5, 2015: Sad Usagi’s Return!

Uh oh.  This morning marked the return of sad rabbit as yours truly prepares for a big five months of production.  Akemi has greatly enjoyed my two years of loafing about development which allowed me to work from home – and spend most of my days (and nights) with her.  Now, with Dark Matter poised to  start production on its first season, we’re going to be seeing a lot less of each other.  A LOT less.  Starting Friday, I’ll be out the door at 6:30 a.m. and probably won’t be back until 9:00 p.m. most nights.  On the downside, she’ll we’ll be spending considerably less time together.  On the upside, however, she doesn’t have to worry about making me dinner.  And we’ll always have the weekends.  Except for this Saturday when I’ll be on set.

Today, we had our “Does Everyone Know What They’re Doing?” meeting and I’m pleased to report that – yes, everyone knows what they’re doing.  Even me!  We talked about the camera test, facial hair, tattoos, and making “the big doors” pop.

After lunch, Paul gave me his notes on my first of #112.  I’ll finish my pass tomorrow, then send it his way so that he can do his pass after which we can put it wide – along with episodes #110 and #111.  As for #113…I think we’re going to hold off and keep everyone guessing.

We also did another little stage walk-thru and perused the work in progress…
