Feedback from class & tutors

Today we had another session where we showed work in progress - And we had a finished animatic to show today, it was based on the 3rd rewrite of the script so not up to speed to the script I posted last. But what do you know, they seemed to like it - and quite a bit too! Got a lot of laughs, and laughs in the right places as well. Chris said we where pretty much "there" now, just a few tweaks on the beginning to tighten it up (basically getting rid of the flowerstall and showing Jen on the bench and Nick running late so he picks flowers on the way. Basically just show him giving her a bunch of flowers that he has ripped from the ground on his way to the date. So to be clear, the feedback Ed have given us has made us shorten and tighten up a lot of the actions, but the idea of getting rid of the second half (which honestly we as a group disagreed with) is now behind us. We are keeping the script as it was with a date - and we will be polishing a final version of the script shortly. Ed has been a great resource and helped a lot, but his last feedback kind of made our idea of a fun cartoon with slapstick gags and humour and made it a lot more serious and closer to a drama.. And with a deadline approaching we haven't really got time to start all over again either. Not saying we're settling with this because of time pressure, but the fact that an audience laughed at it today really made us believe we might be on the right track anyway.
