Back in the ol'Agency Days I put in a few 24+ hourers, and I've got repressed memories of two jobs in my current line where I'd fucked up timings and ended up doing 24+ hours to sort it all out. One time with my hands in buckets of cold water for about 8 hours of the full day, manically cleaning char dust off silicone, because my test material didn't burn, but the stuff the client sent me did. Fun times. Hands were broken for days after that...
Although they don't tend to be focused on a 'single project', I regularly do 14+ hour days — I wouldn't even find that sort of time noteworthy, to be honest.
Helps that I'm doing my own thing, and would rather pile on times on top of each other and have more time off otherwise... also, some of my job can be done with a joint and a drink in hand (once all the complex stuff's organised, obviously), which helps.
- similarly, most of my 24hr runs were my screwing up the timingGnash
