I set my alarm for 3:30am this morning and got out of the house around 4am.  I was off to the office early because I had a rough cut due the next morning and I was sheduled to be working on the set of The Muppets both of those days.  An obvious conflict.  I should’ve come in on the weekend to get the work done but I wasn’t interested in giving up that time.  So, I was in early to get a little extra cutting done before I handed it over to another editor and was off to the set.

I was on set by 9am and spent the entire day there.  Around 7 ‘o’clock in evening I made it back to the office to see how things were going on the cut.  My co-worker had covered the piece with shots and fixed it up but I still was not happy with it.  The problems had nothing to do with his adjustments but were with the way beginning and the end were structured.

I decided to stay at the office and finish it for tomorrows delivery.  It wasn’t long before 1am rolled around and I knew that I was going to be spending the night.  I finally finished my edit around 3am and was flabbergasted now that I had to come up with some creative thing to do before I passed out on the sofa.

I had no real energy to do anything too complex.  I was incredibly lucky to remember the mirrors in the passenger seat of my car.  I stopped by a yard sale this weekend and spotted a large stack of small mirrors being sold for two dollars.  I bought them with another creative project in mind.

But tonight they were a boon in a time of desperation.  I set them up in a couple of configurations and went about taking pictures.
