As the gods have foretold since the beginning of time (start of the project), there had to be something to absolutely ruin my schedule. Case and point, the obstructive piece got rained on. And me and my mother's hard work - sweat and tears and blood!!!! And also mosquito bites!!! Damn the mosquitoes!!- gone. The darker portions that we recently worked on (unfortunately, I did not take a picture of our progress before it was demolished to mere atoms - neither did I of the ruined aftermath since it also demolished my mental state to mere atoms) became smudged and wore off, and also bled into the middle white square. So this pushes back the schedule much more than I would've liked and am comfortable with. This final week before spring break was going to be dedicated to finish editing and filming, especially within the limited time of 6 daylight hours total, will now be spent repainting what's needed and then filming. In reality, filming and editing could be accomplished at any time and would be relatively easy to complete. However, Beacon does not allow checking out equipment during that time so filming is still limited to the 19th and 20th. The 19th is now dedicated to filming the remaining scenes not needing the obstructive piece and repainting, and the 20th is dedicated to filming scenes with the obstructive piece. Unfortunate, but doable. Probably.
Fortunately, the utilities available is in our favor. For example, Nyx is back so painting will be much quicker, in which I may enlist another friend because time, and we have spray paint bottles, specifically white and black. For the smudged interior of the piece, we will use the white to do a thick coating to even out the paint and cover up the mixed colors. As a result of my absolutely obliterated mental state, I weighed my options of how to continue with the project:
1. Repaint.
2. Spray paint a different version (for time's sake).
3. Change the story.
Issues with 1: T.I.M.E...and stress
Issues with 2: Disrupts our previously determined meanings of our painting and its relevance to the character's issues and opening's themes. Probably wouldn't look as good too. Hurts my well-being as well because of my extreme meticulousness which is frankly my strong point for wanting to cover all details and create a product that I am confident in through production and content, and also a pain in my butt since I can't just let things be without reason nor can I wing and call an evidently insufficient product to be its final. Due to time, it unfortunately seems like I will not be able to redo the sequence of building anxiety (as previously discussed).
Issues with 3: We can no longer do the brilliant title transition, and also: T.I.M.E. Also hurts my meticulousness.
And so, evidently, we are doing option 1. Good luck to us!...right?
