finished again

So, I am finished AGAIN with The Missing Bank Card 3. I'm slugging on 2 hours of sleep right now at work, I just want this monkey off my back. Yes, I'm glad to redo a lot of what made the first "finished" cut of the film less polished than last year's film. Yes, I'm especially glad I got to build a jungle scene with dinosaurs and birds and a classic tie-in with Star Trek 2. Yes, I'm glad to redo the color scheme to a more "flat" level.

But there's a point in which you just have to wash your hands with it, and that was almost two weeks ago for me. Since we finished the first cut of the film, I had since archived it and moved on to another film and a wedding. Already waist-deep into those and already losing a little sleep over them, I find myself working on MBC3 again, taking it out of archive, and spending half the time trying to catalogue all the project files again to rerender with new effects. It's a love-hate relationship because I was glad to be done, but at the same time I'm glad to be polishing it some more.

I feel more like Chewbacca in this scenario, getting the wrong end of a deal:

"If you would rescue her... the reward would be...",
"be what?",
"Well, more reward than you can imagine!",
"I dont know, I can imagine quite a bit",
"you'll get it!",
"I better!",
"You will!"
