First collab test completed -- and successful

The first-ever Pipeline collab happened last week and, all things considered, it went pretty well! The collab was called "Piggy's Bad Day" and was a series of short videos documenting all the bad things that could happen to a stuffed pig that was sitting in Amy's office. Seven members of the lab signed up and submitted videos, and I (Kurt) led the collab. We had feedback sessions on March 3 and March 10 and screened a rough cut of the final movie at the start of the March 10 meeting. General impressions: better than anyone expected! Promising, but the bar for, and time invested in, our first project were pretty low.

Now our bug tracker is stuffed full of bug reports and feature requests... no shortage of coding to be done in the near future! Boris and I are excited to jump in and get back to work. Next step: a different kind of collab using lab members, then (or simultaneously) a collab with real animators! Exciting times!
