A Week of Spreadsheets and Progress

Thank you for stopping by again! Things are getting a little crazy around here, so I think you’re definitely going to want to keep up. But as to a few updates on what me and the guys (blog forthcoming on them) have done this week. I’ve sat in on some meetings and done some “consulting” work for the team; more simply put, I’ve been trying to help out and do anything that needs to be done, whilst chronicling for the blog. From that observational standpoint, it’s interesting watching the guys do their jobs, and to be there in a little different frame of mind, it’s easier to observe the stress and intricacies and complexities of the production process… I’ve seen my fair share of spreadsheets lately, let me tell you. It might sound boring, but watching the guys work through those seemingly menial Excel documents is like having a front row seat to the best show in town, in a good way. It’s like watching a group of friends learn to debate constructively over what things should look like, what things should get done first, and then joke accordingly; both of which happen, the latter of which happens the most. I mean, there’s only so many ways you can make a spreadsheet. It’s a give and take. Needless to say, things are definitely picking up, getting crazy (yes, spreadsheets can be crazy), and exciting as well as the guys hammer out the kinks in the movie day by day. As I continue to chronicle this project, I continue to see divine providence at work, bringing in the people we need, when we need them, in His time. Obviously things aren’t always smooth for the project, there will always be set-backs and the like, but God works through those situations in more substantial and obvious ways than most anything else. It is quite apparent to all involved that, as we continue to push forward, God is at work, holding all our loose ends together… even the ones we can’t foresee. It’s cool to watch.

Thankful,

Kyle
