VFS Video... and possible future school?

Well, I have great news. Out of much consideration and thought. I applied for the Vancouver Film School's One-year Animation program. I wasn't sure if I could get in; but happy day I DID!!!

Then I was sent the tuition fee for the school and I about fainted. I figured I could just learn on my own with some good animation books but I would totally miss out on the networking and hopefully foot in the market if I don't go.

After voicing my concern with my admissions adviser she told me about the full-tuition scholarship that I could apply for.

Basically we have to choose one line from this Manifesto:

And then create a 90 second video that is inspired from that line. The early-bird deadline is the 15th of September and the final deadline is in October.

Well, I was told about the deadlines about 5 days before the early bird one was due. And at first I thought I couldn't make it to the first one, I didn't have any idea what I would submit or anything. I again talked to my admissions adviser about three days before the 1st deadline and she told me about how I can do anything I want and she was really looking forward to seeing what I create and that I should really try for the early bird deadline. And so I got the crazy idea that it wouldn't hurt to try for it. Mind you, it is two days till the deadline.

So I picked one story that I've been wanting to create and tweeked it to be applicable and I am proud to say I did it. I didn't sleep and I got work off and barely ate, and I am pretty sure I need a shower but it is finished and beautiful.

I hope you all enjoy and please vote for me cause I would like to get the scholarship, if not I will have to find something else to do.
