I was talking to Jer earlier today about resurrecting the idea of building a lightbox for my Project: Tomorrow Men one-sheet.
See, it had a pretty important place in my life, particularly since the premiere itself, but I never got around to building a display for it. Partly, because I’m not really a woodworking guy, and partially because the movie was a sore spot for a number of reasons.
Today, though, I kind of like looking back on it as an ambitious first project. It’s 7 years under the bridge; I think any sore spots are well and truly healed. The movie poster itself is a bit amateurish to my standards today, but back then it was huge. One whole gigabyte for a single file! As everyone I’ve ever known knows, it took me 10 minutes just to save it every time I made a change.
Anyway, like having your first dollar under glass, I think I’d like to put it up where I can celebrate it and the intense learning experiences that came with the entire project and all the roles I filled, many for the first time.
It will be nice to leave work, oh, about now – coming in at 7 am for a meeting is killer, especially when doing it twice in one week, and doubly-especially when producing a video on the same day. Whoo. Naptime!
