I can’t believe I did this!!! Anyone who said they’d do what I said I’d do should ride the special bus and not be let out of the house without a keeper.
I actually said I would rotoscope 422 frames of a movie BY HAND. There’s a slate in the shot that shouldnt’ be there, and there’s no way to get it out except to painstakingly remove it FRAME BY FRAME. Why did I say I was going to do it? Was I insane? Have I gone around the bend at last? Did I have delusions of grandeur???
I agree. You are like unto the beasts of the field, who do feast upon their own excrement.
Hire a poor college student to help. Submit a classified ad: “Wanted: Someone who has film restoration skills, love of dull, boring work. Brain preferred but not required.”
So a re-shoot is out of the question then?
particle: Where would they find both a trained goat and a kosher douche before Monday?
I have a candidate for the job.
Especially if this Derleth is correct in saying
Oh. Um… I’m the poor college student. Thanks for the thought though. 
Eh with the correct lighting, a large dog with cardboard horns and a jar of dill pickle juice should do the trick. It’s not like the audience can tell it’s kosher just by seeing it on film.
I mean Look what Steven Spielburg did with a couple pie pans and some christmas lights!
Given the current condition of french fries at McDonald’s, that’s not so bad, so I wouldn’t sweat it.
Small hijack and a request. Please stop saying things like “ride the special bus” or the “short bus”. It hurts and bothers me as a parent of a child who rides aforementioned bus. It’s just the bus with seatbelts to me but I want to cry and tear my hair out when I hear/read people throwing around that expression, implying there’s something funny about the kids riding the buses. Some jokes aren’t funny to everyone, okay? You’re kicking your own ass for agreeing to attempt the very difficult. Best of luck with your effort but please leave the bus-riding kids out of it.

You’re right. It’s just what everyone used to say where I grew up… I shouldn’t say it, I feel awful… I don’t think I have the right temperament for the BBQ pit. I want everyone to like me too much. I’m that co-dependent! Hmm, maybe that’s why I said I’d do the rotoscoping in the first place. I see a pattern here…
If you reconsider before using the phrase again, I’ll be happy. Don’t feel awful about it though. Now get to work, that film’s not gonna rotoscope itself.

I myself rode a short bus in kindergarten; however, it was not used in the usual understanding. My route was very small, and it made sense to use a smaller bus to hold maybe 10 kids going up the street, basically.
