4/14/20 - Less Than Two Weeks to Go
It's crazy to think about how long I have worked on this project and how much I have learned from it. I've been thinking about this project for around 10 months now and I've been working on it as my main focus for around 8. It's at the point now where I can see what it will look like in the end, even though there are still some small changes to make. I'm trying to watch it and judge it as a first time viewer would see it, but it's difficult.
This is the 4th time I've finished what I would consider a "big project" and after every one someone asks me what I think of it. Of course I'm always proud of the work I've put in, but mostly I respond with something like "I don't know, all I see is still keyframes". It is hard to judge something that I've been intensely focusing on for months without a bit of distance from it, but I can honestly say when I watch this film in its almost-complete state I feel something. I think the film is good and I'm very proud of it, but more importantly it is much more a reflection of myself and my feelings than any of my previous work.
These next 11 days will be full of adding final touches to the animation, getting the final mix for the music and sound, and promoting it on social media.
