I needed to refocus once again on making this project possible after the huge disappointment with yesterday’s singer and his lack of preparation.

I got to Sindhology early for the day’s recording session. Staff came in, but the person who had the key to the recording studio, who had messaged me the night before to ask what time musicians were coming had not shown up. I had replied with the timing and he confirmed, but he was not there so we could not setup.

I spent the day figuring out the best workflow to get the footage recorded thus far put together. There were many technical issues. I found several software bugs and had to piece together a workflow that avoided them. It wasn’t fun, but that is part of working with computers. Once a workflow was figured out, at least I knew it could be used on the rest of the film, so the extra time up front would be worthwhile.Here's a tutorial I put together today.
