about three months ago i was one of the two guys responsible for visuals for a theatrical production. anyway, along with web and all the video stuff, it took us about four weeks to make everything that was asked by the director. i believe that the "normal sleep-time" of that period was 3 hours. the last week went even crazier. at one point we calculated that four people responsible for the show had altogether slept for six hours in the previous 58h.
finally it developed so far that we put the timeline together in after effects, started render queue, closed our eyes, and woke up the next moment when that ringing sound signalled completion in our headphones at max volume. every minute was precious.
anyway, by christmas i was so f*cked up that i took a two week break from everything and spent it doing mostly nothing. this was and experience i don't want to have again for a long time.
now, it is usually two days in a row max. but someone posting before me was right, me and other designers i know are the only ones who live like this...
