This weekend was the weekend of the Virginia Film Festival, and since Mariah and I were both out of state no filming happened.

My main progress was in working on the website, which I had some bold ideas for that I didn't really have the time to follow up on. I tried to make everything on the site as circular as possible since that's the running theme-- Crew Bios were rotating, Galleries were on Carousels, our crew photos were framed by circles etc. My monitor kept on fooling me with the blue that we were using, and even after it seemed as if I bumped it up a lot there were still problems with it looking flat in class.

Wix is kinda buggy to be honest. There are odd things that will throw you for a loop if you aren't able to or knowledgeable enough to avoid them, like how you can get duplicate texts locked under your header permanently, or how mobile menus don't support anchors (which they should be able to that's just poor design), or how you can't even freeze a header on mobile, or how you CANT EVEN ADD ANYTHING TO THE MOBILE PAGE. That one ticked me off a bit. I deleted something and couldn't get it back, so now I'm trying to find some way to wing it or I have to recreate it in the Desktop application. I don't mind Wix, but they're design philosophy (especially and ironically for a webdesign host) is really bad.

I had a way better Idea with loading and opening animations anyways, so I'm going to see If I can find the time to hard code that HTML/CSS into Wix at some point. Trust me, It's gunna be great...If it ever happens (#TrumpQuoteIsDoublyAppropriate).
