After getting back from our five-day shoot at 2 in the morning on the 10th - all four of us crammed our bikes and gear into the apartment and crashed... hard.

In the morning, Amanda and I took Tim to Trader Joe's, he had promised to go there for a friend who was watching some things at his lab, then we ran over to a bike shop on Lankershim to grab an empty box for the bike (that Tim bought for $5 at a thrift shop).

We wanted to leave the apartment by 'noon to make it to LAX for Tim's flight at 1:45 - but we left closer to 12:30, and might have made it if it weren't for a major traffic jam next to the Getty Center, all the way past Hwy 10. Amanda, Nick and myself didn't get very far from LAX before getting a call from Tim saying that he had missed his flight and couldn't fly out until much, much later.


The four of us drove up the PCH to 'Back on the Beach' for a quick lunch - Nick, unfortunately, still had to leave at 5:30. I wish the both of them could have stayed an extra week, everything was so go-go-go before and during the whole trip, it would have been nice to relax with them - take them around town a bit.


As for now, Tim (DP) is in the process of importing and backing-up the hours and hours of HD footage into the G5 at Matt's. Speaking of Matt - I was very excited/ relieved/ flattered to hear from him that the crew was very, very optimistic and were sure they a "solid pilot" from the 5 days. Matt sounded very happy - which is probably a good sign.


I've been cleaning out my 200 GB drive to get ready to dump all the back-ups onto it, from there I'll do my best to start compressing and posting footage in our video library... check back for a dedicated channel for the pilot footage.
