Okay everyone - I'm back!
I've finally finished finals, moved home, and settled in - and am now taking care of the final details of the project. I was set back a few days by some outdoor projects - preparing garden beds for rose bushes, sometimes in the rain - but am now back on track.
I also found a couple of scripts that I thought I had lost. This is a good thing, since I thought I'd have to spend time recreating them (and figuring out how I did it the first time, since it's been so long). I no longer have to worry about that. Now I just need to run or two a day when I'm away from the computer, and take care of a little more image compositing, and it'll be done before next Monday.
I'll be running the last of the scripts for the fullscreen section tonight (rendering the 13'37" narrative) and tomorrow morning (the joining and encoding script). As I finish the rendering and editing of each piece of the widescreen section, I'll post a status update so you all won't have to be in the dark any longer as to what has and has not been completed. I'll also share the results of a cross-platform test of the full-length Fullscreen join once I've had a chance to play the file on a few different computers. You'll probably be seeing that late tomorrow or early Wednesday.
Anyhow, the project and I are both alive and well, and I (finally) say with confidence that the long wait is very near its end.

BTW - As to the DVD version of the project:
Should I also encode each "piece" of the project as an MPEG2 file for the creation of the DVD, or should I just send lossless versions of the narratives, intro, and credits and leave the encoding to Bakadeshi. I can pretty easily go either way, but need to know as soon as possible so I can prepare the necessary encoding scripts for those files as well as the "online" distribution.
