Our Journey So Far

We are all getting our head down and starting organising what we need from each person and by when. Being director i have resposiblitys to make sure my team are on time and doing the work. sometimes i feel really bossy and mean but i  mean well. i want my team to get to a comftoble persition so we dont rush towards the last week as more people will be in the studio nearer the deadline resulting in not enough work space and istractions. i also want my team to be able to have a brake during esther rather than having to work the full to weeks just to get this done. I do enjoy beeing director i just don't like beeing bossy but i think its the best way to be to make people get things done. So far we have started animating the first few scenes and i am getting Ben to draft the layouts before colouring them so we can discuss what needs to change and what can stay. Ben has been very reliable so far, he has produced very nice pieces of work which i am proud off. Aaron's animation is improving, and he is getting better with every scene. sometimes we disagree with what looks good but we always come to an agreement at some point. I feel, although my directing skills are good(ish), my animation is not. i struggled with some scenes and i jumped the gun a bit with animating first without planning, which is a bad move. you should always plan your animation before you do it. I realized my mistake but i still find it hard, this project is helping me learn my strengths and weakness. I'm good at designing and ideas but not very good at animation! something i should improve.
