Back in the day, when I was working on 2-3 films a year, at the end of every mix I made a habit/ritual of taking a nice bottle of tequila along to celebrate. Apart from having spent many months working on the film, the final mix is the most intense collaboration, as a small group of people do very focused work in a big dark room for 10+ hours a day. And it always used to amaze me to observe the mood shift. One minute we are all working & listening, making the very last changes to the mix, the last change is done and checked, the mix is declared completed. Tequila opened, shots uploaded, and near-instant party-mode activated!

End of this coming week and we are done!
