Process: the version I threw away, and why

Three weeks on this and I have binned the whole second half. Posting the dead version because the reason it failed is more interesting than the fix. Short version: I solved the wrong problem very well. The thing that was actually wrong was the pacing in the first ninety seconds, and no amount of work on the ending was ever going to touch it.

Finished — going public on Friday

Members get it now. It goes everywhere else on Friday morning. If anything is broken, this is the useful window to say so.

Files are up for the last three projects

Studio members: sources, layered files and the presets. Use them for whatever you like including commercial work; a credit is nice and is not required.

Monthly hangout — Sunday, and I will be working through it

First half is questions, second half is me doing the boring middle part of a project on camera. People say the second half is better, which I try not to take personally.
