#RTCQ Work ItHey RT,
For the past few weeks, @Brandon, @Chris, and myself have been working night and day on a project and we're getting...well, really sleepy. However, we're incredibly passionate about what we're doing and we want it to be the best it can be! So, to help keep us motivated (and to possibly motivate others)...
What is the last project you put your heart and soul into? Something that completely drained you, while at the same time, really excited you? How did it turn out?
Tell your tale in the comments section below, folks! Now if you'll excuse me, I've got some energy drinks that need consuming...

It's not finished and the one on the web is somewhat out of date, but the link is here
rowing-the only sport you can win sitting on your butt going backwards
No one person can spend the whole day planning because our first priority is always visitors. So even if it is the day before an event and we really need to focus on set up, if there are people who want the tour, we stop what we are doing and give the tour. I love everything we do, but I come home each night ready to collapse. However, it really all pays off come the day of the event.
The film turned out alright, but no matter what that experience will probably stick with me for a very long time. I don't know if I have ever felt so in love with something, but when I am creating a film...it's like I am in my own world and nothing can stop me! :D

Alternatively, my friends and I dumped about 2-3 years into creating a few seasons of some different web shows. Requires lots of patience and the ability to know when to move on to the next episode.
I wish I could give you so many more Dittos.
Didn't really think that much of it till I started writing a little bit and realized how amazingly true it was.
We gave it our all often staying up late working on our presentation and our PowerPoint. Towards the end we were just exhausted. But it was all worth it as be received first and State and then went to Nationals down in Salt Lake City where we placed in the top 20 out of hundreds of teams! It was a great experience and plan on doing it again. .
-following a course designated by a black line
-detecting an object
-lifting said object and placing it in a designated drop-off location
-moving over obstacles in the terrain
We spent an unthinkable amount of time doing this project. In my four-person team, I was in charge of the robot's actual design with one of the others, and the other two guys did the programming section. We went through gallons of soda and energy drinks and unspeakable amounts of pizza in our endeavor to make this robot beautiful. We added flourishes, such as a little Lego man hanging from an unnecessary tower. We created a stupid acronym to name the robot using our professor's name. We finally finished the thing, and it was beautiful. It could do everything we thought it would need to do, and we were proud of it.
The day of the test came, and it failed miserably, and we got a 65% on the project. It was one of the highest grades. (I got a 59% B in that class that semester).
though self destructing robot is much more funnier t...
Well, no, really it's an ongoing project based on my work, where I'm trying to help a company broaden and grow, when its product is quite specific ie Music. It's a true challenge, but it helps set limits and makes me think creatively how to market something, as I am the only one in the company with ANY sort of idea how the internet and social media works.
And if YOU are a musician who wants a taste of what SshhMutes has to offer, get in contact with me, or go to sshhmute.com! I may be able to work a discount!
^Obligatory marketing opportunity... I apologize to the world.
The film was terrible, but it was probably the hardest I've ever worked on something that I enjoyed THAT much. Absolutely worth it.
So besides lunch and the breaks in between I was in class from 8am till 9pm for 2 weeks. Sleep deprived ftw.

This film consisted of a ton of student and teacher interviews, surveys, and research. All done within a few months since I was lazy. I even got sick while working on it and still stayed up very late in order to get it done. But I finished it and I'm proud I made it because it's a major milestone in my career as a film maker
One being helping out my friend who runs his on the bioware forums,
One being based around exaggerated Roosterspeak anecotes, based in the star wars universe,
And the other, which will be released fairly soon, is one based around JamesKryack's Hull series. Just a very interesting setting, with a lot of possibilities! I can post images soon, but not quite yet!
*Miles, I owe you a custom character. I'll contact you later about it.
