The official mid term crit overall was useful more to see where my peers were at in terms of their own parts of the project, the nature of ours means that each of the scenes we do are totally separate and there isn’t really a whole lot of opportunity to see what they’re up to so it was interesting to hear Raul’s side of the project with the vapourwave score for the ‘trippyscope’ scene.
