Counting beans and coming soon...

There are some jobs in which employee performance is appraised by targets. At the end of the week, reports are run at a high level by a team of number crunchers who analyse the amount of beans (or whatever) you've produced, and then compare it to the average bean output of your team. Those hard working saints with above average productivity are lauded as gods amongst their colleagues and toasted as a success by middle management, while the unfortunate saps below the line are frowned upon and given must-try-harder talks.

Of course, I shouldn't have to point out that statistically about half the workforce is inherently going to be "below average", rendering this particular bean-counting exercise completely meaningless. But more annoyingly, the people who are meeting or exceeding targets are usually those who cherry-pick the easiest tasks leaving their unfortunate colleagues to pick up the hard ones that will take all day to complete.

Which is a very roundabout way of saying there are times when you can do a hell of a lot of work and end up having not much to show for it. For Cerebral Visions this might be one of those weeks. Due to hectic lives infringing on production schedules, and a current lack of green screen material we haven't been able to concentrate on a single project, but rather we've been multi-tasking on a bunch of concurrent operations, notably:

• An untitled assassin project, directed by Will (now in post production) [UPDATE: watch now]
• A comedy script tentatively entitled "The Two Torturers", penned by Paul
• The aforementioned short comedy involving an estate agent, directed by Snare (half way through production) [UPDATE: watch now]
• The Big Summer Project, still in the not-quite-written stage of pre-pre-production, which will be our most ambitious project to date

So you see, we are working hard... It just seems that ebbing and flowing is our kind of approach to release schedules ;)
