Well I was at this very moment meant to be in Tel Aviv doing workshops and screenings, but the situation there became just too tragic, and I simply could not justify talking about animation in such circumstances. I didn't go, and I do feel awful, but then I just turn the news on and I know why I didn't go. I feel terrible for the people out there. An awful situation. One of many n the world at the moment, and whilst what we do has some small importance and there should always be art, but hell it all seems a bit trivial. Can't get over someone I sometime work with, after me saying I was not going, asking whether it was because it was too hot. Trivial or not, the work has still been pretty demanding and I think we will be able to talk about the top secret series soon, which will be a relief. Work has been hard as we are quite short staffed with holidays and weddings and such, but still good fun. And just in case that was not enough, I am working for a couple of hours a night on the feature script. And it's in good shape, but I'd really like to take a week off and work on it all day. With short films it is quite easy to stand back and take it all in, looking at the shape and structure and arcs, but with a feature, that is a far harder process, and I have to keep checking back. Good fun though.
