(dis)Respecting the Heroes

As the 40th anniversary of the moon landing passed by, I became more aware of our... slightly bad timing with our astronaut related animation.

The animation doesn't exactly show astronauts in a positive light. While our intention was not to mock or disrespect, and I wasn't even aware that the anniversary was this year... with the recent media coverage of the apollo mission... this might be a problem. People see connections easily.

I feel it might not be seen as just a joke about the human condition anymore.

In more serious news: The animation should be done in a few weeks and then be presented to an audience at Assembly09. I probably should emphasis the word 'should' in the previous sentence. We ran into a bit of problems due to none of us really knowing jack shit about sound editing. Right now I still fear the whole thing might just simply fail because we can't get the mood right.

But hey, I'm going to sweden a day before Assembly and staying there for like a week! Lots of time to relax and forget about the whole thing if it all goes bad.
