End of Term Note...............

Ok so its the end of the first term now, one which has been a little unorganised and stressfull. The three films I have chosen to work on, with Junk Food being my main one, have all moved along slowly in this term of pre-production. With Junk Food it took us quite a while to come up with a finished script from ground up, respectfully with Chris's hard work on the matter. So as a group it was abit hectic for us to generate the needed work load starting close to all the presentations and essay work slowly kicking in. But I think we did okish........ aside from the unfinished animatic that is :P...........

Anja's film '1000 Cranes for Peace' came along quite well though. Again things got a little unorganised with occasional comunication problems within the group, but I think the needed work for the term was achieved. Only thing though was that Anja had to take on most of the work herself towards the last few weeks in order to really nail down the look she personally wanted, which I felt was abit unfair on her. Give me as much work for me as you want over the holidays Anja, we don't want you to kill yourself with work hehe :D

I'm not too sure what was going on with 'Glitch' though. My role in the group is to help with the Animation and any other areas in need of digital or artistic man power, so to speak. But this term not much was asked of me, in fact I ended up not having to do any work on the project other than some general helping with ideas. I did have a section of storyboarding to do, but some confusion on who was doing what happened when Natasha respectfully had to drop working for the film in order to manage other work as recomended by Mike Smith, so at some point I ended up not having to do the storboards????......... But in any matter, I think the group now has Raul working on it too now, which is great if that's the case as there was only Alex and Prince with me and Tash only helping out. Plus Alex seems to be taking more control with directing the film's production, which is another positive note because it had nobody directing it (Kanika Andrews created the idea/pitch of the film but decided she didn't want to work on it at the beggining, allowing Prince and Alex to take it on).

So with that note, its time for a holiday rest...... though probably won't get much of a rest with so much work that needs to be done. More refined concepts for Junk Food, Maya tests, blockouts, initial production on films, and not to mention dissertation research............. OMG Im getting tired just thinking about it all............... ok........... gona take the weekend off now.......... I'll be back with more posts soon, and hopefully with better work than Iv posted so far hehe......................
