Reflection on Professional Skills unit.

This unit has been a difficult one for me. Initially i was working as part of a group of 4 people on a film which would utilise everybody's uniques talents. However, i am now working on my film alone. In terms of professionalism i feel like i have tried everything possible in order to help get the film finished. It does not help things when the other members drop out. As such i have had to take  a much more hands on approach to the film. This includes taking on many more responsibilities in the production process. It is also now down to me to find suitable help in order for the film to get completed.  

Initially there was a specific style that we were going to make the film around. But due to the circumstances, i have had to adapt the film based around the resources i have available. The most important change has been the transition from using 2D painted background to now having to build a 3D environment. This will mean more texturing and lighting is needed.

The plus side to me now working on the film alone, is that i can do what i want to do. there were times in the production process and even in the process of marketing the film that the group would disagree on certain aspects. If i can get the film finished i will be extremely proud of myself and hopefully the final product. This will be the most rewarding thing to me.

As i'm now responsible for a lot more the film it is important that i can stick to deadlines. Once i identify help for the project i will also have to arrange a schedule for these people to stick to. As i am still trying to find the help i have not been able to arrange a work schedule for them yet. However  it is my hope that i can get most if not all of the Modeling and scenes set up before the end of March. This will then give me the whole of April to work with animators to get the required shots finished. After April i will then have till the 25th of May, to composite the film and make it look as good as possible.

To help organise my time i have and will continue to use Google Calender.
