There was a bit of consternation on Thursday when it was mentioned that the teaser might be turned into a trailer. In my personal opinion I did not know how to react to that news. I know that the cut that Callum made was more than 4 minutes long. And yes it does make sense to trim it a bit shorter to a trailer format. But then my other thinking was we worked hard on it for the last few months. And to just give up now and not going forward with the teaser would be a sign of giving up. Kim and Don were being put forward as the optional editors for the trailer format. Callum was mentioned also but he had to focus on his Research studies. I could not really form an answer during the class meeting as it came to us as a surprise and I could not clearly think. And I had to go to work also. After work my head was a bit clearer and I watched Callum's final edit. Don showed me a dream sequence also and I did not quit like that either. It was being too rushed and it clearly did not make any sense. After that short catch up I went home and slept on it. When I woke up I sent Lee my reflection on what happened during that class, the night before. And made the point that we should progress with the cut that Callum made and forget the idea of the trailer. If time is of the essence then the animators can do what they can and a cut can be made with the material we got before the deadline. Lee gave me a call and we both shared the same opinion. I have spoken with Vincent and he gave me a of the design he made that features the space pod and it looks impressive. So a couple of tribulations but we are still very much on track.
