Unexpected

     So I guess I should give some information on exactly what I'm working on before I start going crazy about what's happening.  So I am working on an animated short with a group of 15 other students and it's been pretty amazing.  Our movie's title is Ember and it's centered around the lives of a Mongol man and a fire spirit named Ember (hence the title of the movie).  In this production I am currently the assistant production manager.  Here's the link to our facebook page:  https://www.facebook.com/Ember2013

     Anyway, on to what unexpected thing happened today.  So normally every graduating class in VL submits their film to the annual national SIGGRAPH convention and the submission date is used as a deadline for when the film should be completed. We came into class today, however, to find out that the date of submission has been moved up a whole month so that means one less month to create our film.  Now we're going to have to see if we can produce the quality of film that we want in the time of 19 weeks.  If we don't get the quality of film that we want by that date I guess we'll have to wait until next year to submit.  There are more festivals that we can apply to, it's just, you know, SIGGRAPH is kind of a big deal.
