Open Show

Just finished the first half of the big Character Animation Open Show. The second half starts at 10 and goes until at least 2 am. 8 tapes full of really fantastic stuff! The first 4 hours have left me feeling really pumped for next year. So far there have been some great films--my fellow freshmen have created some brilliant little films and it's really exhilarating seeing the storys/characters spring to life after months of seeing just tiny little glimpses. This goes for upperclassmen too, really gives me a good sense of how I want to approach my next film. My film went over just fine, it was odd seeing it on such a large scale and in front of so many people(at least 200 people). It was cool hearing the various reactions while it played. Hearing people gasp and then laugh on such a large scale was not something I was really expecting(especially the gasps). Then, before I knew it, my film had ended and moved onto another film. Anyways, off to go grab dinner and hang out with friends before heading back into the gallery for another round of animation! Pictures and a richer update to follow....
