The Final project of my Bachelors degree, Working on this
project has been a great experience, but great experiences are not always fun
and games this project went over 28 Weeks.
Coming in to my next project I would go about it very different
as I have learnt some valuable lessons. The biggest problem we had in this
project is we didn’t have a final on how it was going to look until more than
half way through the project. This created many problems and played a huge part
in our timing of the development plan.
The short film came out one thousand times better then what
I was expecting. With actual sound done by a girl that just finished studying
sound for films. The shots seemed to flow really well together with the massive
time difference in the characters life. This was a big concern to me but the
short came together really well. Picking a 2 tone colour scheme help work this
out. the animation was really well done by all team members and the motion
capture used you can hardly notice the difference between motion capture and
key framed animation.
The story is really good on how so many people watch it and
everyone takes the story different on their own reflected life.
One of the big problems I would say I had was I didn’t go to
uni all that much. But for good reason,
the computers at my university only had 8 gig of ram and there
processors are a lot slower, when you are working with a solid state drive, 32g
of ram and a 38.4 GHz processor and a Wacom Cintiq. So I asked myself what
benefits. I get if I go to university. I came to the conclusion is that I was
getting 90% more work done at home. I always made sure I was on the internet
for contact and I always made great efforts in contacting the team to make sure
I was still on track for what I was meant to be doing.
This short I feel is going to do well because it’s something
so different and done very well. People will have a hard time forgetting this
short.
