It just wouldn’t be Star Trek: Dimensions if it wasn’t delayed somehow.  I’m going to push back this deadline three days, to Sunday.

Nick here – writing at 3 AM Friday morning.  I’ve got a story to tell you.  You might not want to hear it, but I’m gonna give it anyway, for what it’s worth.

I can’t tell you how frustrated I am by this delay.  I wanted so badly to get this miniseries released on time. We’re only pushing back three days, but I feel like I’ve let you – our fanbase, down.  If you can forgive us that, you’ll have Part One of Star Trek: Dimensions – Life Before The Mirror on Sunday.

If you’re a fan, you know there have been delays before.  This time… it’s a bit different.

Waldo has been crazy slammed these last two weeks burring his head in school books to keep his grades up.  Like a dummy I kept asking him if we were on track rather than if he could use a hand, and so we really didn’t communicate all that well to get the project back on track.  Late last night he transferred the files over to me so that I might give post-production (piecing it all together) a shot.

If you follow my personal blog at IAmNickArmstrong.com, you know we’ve had some problems with audio quality for one of the actor’s lines. I’ve been working through most of the night last night (5 AM) and tonight (3 AM) to see if we can correct the audio on our end in an attempt to release on time.  I’ve had a good amount of success correcting the problems, but we’re definitely going to need to re-record that actor’s lines AFTER part one.  But, as you can see from the lack of podcasted episode, that sapped a lot of the production time away that would have been used to put the show together.

I’m going to move forward to release Part One by Sunday, but having to re-record the audio for Georgia’s lines may mean a 15-30 day delay in Part 2… depending on how fast we can get the new lines back and how they sound.  We’re going scene by scene here, making sure it’s all good.  The last thing I’d want to do is come back from a 6 month break and hand you a steaming pile of audio crap.  That’s not how I roll.

Again, as with last time, you have my sincere apologies that we’ve broken yet another deadline promise.  We really are doing the best we can… and if you stick with us, you’re in for a real treat – starting friggin’ Sunday – even if I have to stay up EVERY NIGHT until then.
