ok. so i’ve had my 3 hour nap, time to knock this ball outta the park. it’s the home stretch and i can see the .. oh wait, no. still got another base to round before the home stretch. and that ball is making it’s way back pretty fucking fast. time to get cracking if i’m gonna have this project in by the extended deadline i gave them. isn’t life just jolly good fun.

It’s closing in on the 18th hour. i’ve been in the office since about midday yesterday (save for the 3 hours i took to go to my parents for dinner with relatives who I’ve never even heard of before now and my aunt who is on holidays here from australia). I am trying to do what I should have had finished 2 days ago, a 5 minute promo video for one of our clients which could lead to lots more work. 

right now, I can feel all my senses going a little haywire. my vision is strained from staring at the screen for so long. the silence is deafening to my ears. I have a faint smell of burning in my nostrils which my mind is telling me is the brain cells slowly burning away as I try and fight the sleep. 

I have about 70% of the video completed and most of the after effects heavy segments out of the way. But the problem is, I’ve hit the wall. I could write away here for ever babbling about this and that but when I swap over to premiere pro or after effects, my mind just goes numb… well, more numb than it is now… (I was going to write number instead of more numb, that’s how tired I am.)

So the question is this, do I give up and get some sleep, finish it off in the morning? Or do I crack open another can of red bull, neck it, and let the caffeine do it’s job in the hopes that my final video is ok?
