2/6/20 - Seeing the Big Picture

Honestly this is probably one of my rougher milestones.  A lot of factors have gone into that, but mostly I've just had a mental block.  There's something intimidating about being at this point around 50-60% done where it feels like I've been working forever on this and I still have forever to go...but somehow I also don't have that much time until the deadline.  On top of that there's other things to consider, such as finding a job after graduating that adds stress to this semester.  It's also hard to stay focused on one thing for the entire year, because I'm constantly having new ideas for projects that I just don't have time to work on because I am dedicated to this film.

I still believe in this project more than anything I've ever done, and I'm not going to stop until it's complete.  However, it is important to acknowledge that it is work now, not all the fun and excitement of coming up with an idea, trying out different looks, and just imagining how cool it will be.  Now it is just work to be done, and that is exciting and intimidating in itself.  I remember getting to this point in my last big project and feeling guilty as if I wasn't as emotionally invested in my project as I used to be, but I worked through it anyways and that made it even more satisfying to finish it.

In the next couple weeks I will be making progress on some of the biggest shots in the whole film, so stay tuned for that!  For now check out 2 of the shots I've been working on recently.  I'm especially proud of how the 3D and 2D elements are starting to come together!
