3/25/16

A lot has changed, and for the better- I almost feel like bullet-pointing this post. Deadlines have been re-adjusted; the potential TV spot has been moved from mid-April to around June. We've gone from having to rush out a finished product to having the time to really make sure it's what we want. We are in talks with an animation studio that has developed a rough cut of what the animation could look like, moving us past our storyboard/script phase. It looks good, and further discussions will take place over the long weekend to see what changes need to be made; maybe more of a story focus, rather than just an info drop. It's meant to be rather short, at two to three minutes, so I'm not sure how much we need to pack into that time. What I'm also working around right now is the endgame for the project.  I'm basically answering the question: If it's successful and the TV spot lets thousands of Houstonians know about it,where do we go from there? Would we pitch the idea to Memorial Hermann, with the prospect of them providing money for our future efforts? Or, would we use the support garnered from the TV spot to form our own business (likely through crowdfunding sites like Kickstarter, GoFundMe, etc)? I'm still deciding. And I'll be asking the other members of the team for their opinions on it, as well. It's great to get caught up in the moment with this project, but seeing the (possible) big picture isn't always a bad thing.
