I have to agree with that statement! I thought the sets were going to be time consuming (and they are) but living in a desert its hard to find convincing pine forrest or jungle!
I also feel bad that part one is a lot of build up, but to tell the story, and everyone after it, it its necessary!
when I get overwhelmed with it, I too do a stand alone and it gets me itchin again. Thats why on the weekends I try to always do a weekend warriors pic just to stay grounded in the fun of what I am trying to achieve!
