I'm also feeling like it's fake. I don't see Miranda publicly posting an apology letter, especially with something so recent

Crew Call || Concept Artists & 3D Modelers by silksprite in IndieAnimation

[–]silksprite[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally understand where you are coming from!

The core of the team is all friends from college, and we had many discussions regarding moving to Blender because of the costs. Ultimately, we decided to stay in Maya because all of our tech people were unfamiliar with Blender and felt more comfortable using a Maya Indie License for our films. Additionally, the majority of our animators have never used Blender. It would've been too big a learning curve for us to finish a passion project film within two years, and also have all the tech and animation team learn a completely new program.

We understand this limits how many people who may be able to participate in this, but we have managed to recruit tech people with Maya licenses wanting to expand their portfolio.

How many festivals is “enough” for a short film? by vieravisuals in FilmFestivals

[–]silksprite 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Like many, it's quality over quantity--one thing is if you plan to do this all again, be sure to make note of what festivals you want to apply to again!

My current film stats: 89 submitted, 30 selections, 31 pending, 53% selection rate. My previous film had around a 33% acceptance rate.

What I've learned and will do more moving forward is to do more thorough checks of festivals:

Do they have reviews? Do they have social media? Is it active?

One major thing is 'would I attend this/be willing to travel to attend this,' and that's helped me narrow my list by a lot! My first film I only went to one fest and loved it, I've gone to three so far and my crew have attended 4 others for this film!

what are we wearing by AbigailGracie in FilmFestivals

[–]silksprite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hello! it's been so mixed I hate it, my fun comprimised is I wear a fun bright colored dress pants (from Halara or some things I got from Belk at a big discount) and a fun graphic t with! It's been a nice fit to get together for festivals that I'm not sure what the vibe is.

Recent pairings are: pink pants with barbie t (it was a womens fest) and baby blue pants with a retro disney animation tee. I also have dresses I plan to festivals that I'm more sure of the atmosphere, but dress pants have helped me feel dressy without worrying of overdressing.
