Yesterday, four of us at Otherspace met at GMU in the pouring rain, then drove to a nearby Japanese restaurant, ate sushi, and plotted the future of Otherspace.

I described my plans for the next animation, and my desire to make Otherspace into a world-class animation studio. Everyone else was excited and gave off an aura of being ready to go. I think we’re really going to do this.

“This” is Summer Storm, a five-minute short animation that will showcase our talents and blow away anyone who watches it. We’ve set a preliminary timeframe of one year to complete it, and we’re planning a trip to the beach as a “location shoot.”

My mind is still reeling from all this. My plans are actually coming to life, and it’s happening in a way that’s not scary or weird. This all feels so good.
