Getting down to it for real

So my goal for right now was to have everything pretty much edited and be adding the music, but TJ, my musician friend, can't get the music to me until he gets back to LA, he's been sticking around New Haven after Yale's quarter is up to finish up on extra curriculars, then he's going to LA where his friend has this huge studio and all the equipment and programs he needs to make the music.  He said he would have it for me by Sunday, which means I'll add it on monday and be able to turn it in either monday or tuesday.  Still, as a back up, I've emailed some artists asking for permission to use their pieces in my video, and they've not emailed me back.  I figure worse comes to worst, I'll make something up myself on Garageband or something.  I'm pretty confident in TJ tho, he just go the dates mixed up, but I believe he's good on his word.  

I'm not used to this approach to filmmaking.  I have experience in film making, but I always have an idea of what I want, very specifically.  Like I usually don't even start until I have a very detailed storyboard laid out.  This time I just dove in, gathering inspiration as i gathered resources.  In theory this should be an adventure.  It is, i suppose, and adventure in some aspects.  But not the kind of adventures Dora the Explorer takes.  This is Gooneys-type shit.  Hopefully I'll find a pirate ship full of precious trinkets.
