I was part of jury members with one hell of a 2D animator. In all honesty, I was afraid that she will be bad with me because of my lack of experience.
I talked about my job to students. I prepared a full presentation the whole week, but the day before, I understood that my presentation will be led by a moderator, so I had to play it by ear.
After this festival, I'm in a better frame of mind thanks to these meetings with people from my field. And now, I'm looking to start the animation on my next film.
