Yay! CourtTV IS OVER!!!...oh yeah, no work.

The CourtTV rebranding project has finally, finaly, finally....come to a close. With too many cooks in the kitchen nickel and diming this thing into infinity and beyond, it seemed like their "on January 1st, 2008, CourtTV will become truTV" tag line would have to be revised because we'd probably still be working on the fucking thing then! God Almighty!

After the marketing head and head of the network inscesantly would not agree, the marketing guy finally pushed himself through, flew out to LA, and sat in on our last night of editing Version 32. You read it right...VERSION 32! After 6 hours this past Wednesday night with only a handful of changes, in person, he signed off on a 3 minute piece that should have been out the door months ago. All tolled, we (the producers and I) put in a grand total of 9 weeks work on this thing. AND IT'S FINALLY DONE!!! At one point about a week ago they took the project away from us because they wanted to handle everything themselves in New York. Not surprisingly they came back. Probably because they didn't want to go through hours and hours of footage from scratch. Dumbass CourtTV.

Of course the downside is I'm now out of work. However this gives me time to settle into my new apartment. Having a home life at last will be good.
