The time has finally come two days ago, the evening of the exhibition!
I was actually really excited and couldn't wait to show people my movie and introduce them to the wonders of machinima!
All in all I got around 40 maybe 50 people which is a fantastic number and it exceeded the amount that I thought I would get!
And I have to say that I got fantastic feedback as well! The younger students were interested in machinima and in the software, the creation of such a movie, and creating a movie with games. The parents and teachers were impressed by the story and by this whole new "style" that they haven't heard about beforehand!
To be quite honest, I would gladly do the exhibition again, but on a friday.... Because yes, the day afterwards you get really tired!
I also had some problems... lovely! At first my monitor wasn't working and I had to go to our IT department to get a second monitor, which also didn't work, so I figured it must have been the cable, I got a VGA cable, but then my initial monitor started to work again. So that was lovely!
And also at one point I was showing some man how Machinima Studio works when my computer froze. I managed to interest him in conversation while fixing the computer though so that wasn't as bad as it could have been, it didn't require a computer restart!
I got some new subscribers the next day so some people were obviously interested in more! And that was also one of the main responses "You should make more" or "Make more based on this story, like a series about the Storytellers." And I was very happy to hear that!
People also asked whether I saw this as a job opportunity, but after my "experience" with Sony Vegas I wasn't very keen on it... Maybe once my hate for it goes away, we shall see!
And now personal project is almost done! Some fantastic products were presented, but I just really can't wait for it to end! It's been a long bumpy ride, with it's ups and downs!
