Weekly Written Review
Done means there's still a lot more to go when it comes to my filmmaking, lol. I thought my documentary was finished last week, but I ended up having to rerender 3 more times because of errors, omissions, and discoveries.
Multiple renders ain't nothing new, but blowing a playoff basketball game should never happen. We had at least a 5-point lead with about a minute to go. A timeout was called, and someone said, "Let's kill time." We did the exact opposite. A teammate gets the ball, drives, turns it over, and they score a 3-pointer. Next possession, the exact same drive with a different player, another turnover. In addition, my consistent league-long contributions weren't valued in the last game. For example, one person thought it was a good idea to sub in for me to create "offense" toward the end of the game. The moment he got in, turnover.
I can score, but they might have a different impression because they don't move the ball around. I went 1 for 3 in our last game. Only one attempt came from a pass. My only basket was off a rebound. I'm done. I'll continue to play pickup basketball, but the recreational league experience is retired. If I had friends I would do it again but being a free agent with ballhogs suck. I'll find other ways to continue my professional quest.

* I started uploading the master file when I was around 50% completed, I put my head down, got an Xbox notification, and realized I left out someone in the credits. Back to the drawing board with another render. On the bright side, there was a slight color inconsistency with one of the opening scenes. I took this opportunity to fix it and I think it was worth it.
