Reply To: Collab 2022?

[Peter Varga]

For context and additional information extortion*:

At risk of coming across somewhere between impatient, needy/ demanding, cynically rude and just plain psychotic (which I’m not! I promise! ; ) I actually need this information (and sooner is better) in order to take part, even theoretically.

I’ll make an exception to my general policy of keeping my story on need to know basis… 

I need to either take or refuse a gig offered by the end of this weekend that inherently cannot coexist with the collab.. a judgement call;

To make an informed decision I need, well, information!

: D

now I know, to my genuine excitement of a good kind, that there will in fact be a collab, at all… and that IS great! No sarcasm… if we know when, roughly (not expecting dates here) that would take me even further in this process of mine (emphasis and stress on if)…

The thing is, these gigs that I speak of and depend on span through months, typically, and are demanding my undivided attention, pretty much throughout their entirety… this particular one that I’m considering now would come at cost of me being benched regarding my involvement relevant to the collab till mid may (best case) or june (realistic projection).

Collabs are, to put it mildly, events that work best for me, with no real alternative save maybe taking a dedicated university course on physical premises, when it comes to learning blender (among other things);
the synergy and human connection behind creating an actual complex piece of art, balancing [healthy] competition and cooperation with hundreds of different people with a common goal, challenging self in a selfcontained frame with a feedback loop not simulated but real, all this, and more, in an amazing self managed evolving process that pieces together all these efforts in a unique product is, both an incredible feat (I honestly doubted that we can actually pull it off the first time I was introduced to the concept, and it was significantly smaller then too) and an experience that someone that has set themselves to climb the mountain of 3D for whatever the reason, cannot afford to miss!
