I spent the morning updating my blog. It is interesting to look back as I am posting entries about a month after the fact. Over a month ago, I was finishing music in Jamshoro. A lot has happened since then, and yet some things are right where they were, despite my best efforts.I have not been able to digitize any of the other DV tapes to work on music as I have not been able to find a source to get a DV VTR that I can digitize footage into a mac with. I am getting close, but I am not there yet.Backgrounds on the other hand are being made, after going through many steps and challenges. I have progressed on lighting and photography, though not quite ready on that end and I am more familiar with how the puppets can be manipulated. I still need to do more on that end, but things are going. I always feel like I am spinning plates.Umar is a fantastic artist. I am fortunate to have him on board to work on these beautiful cloth backgrounds. His skill set is very complimentary to my own, as in he knows how to do a lot of stuff I do not, but need.After working the rest of the day, Kristeen, Umar and I head to Panj Vera via the metro bus to grab dinner with friends. It was fun to just laugh, eat aloo and egg parathas, drink khoya khajoor, badam milk shakes and eat ice cream. Zahid once again drove us all the way back, across town to where we are staying. I have a deep appreciation for friends who go out of their way to drop us off, because it is a huge help. Besides, it was a lot of fun to talk about movies and all kinds of other silliness.
