What will you do with your film when you are done.
I might send it to a film festival, such as Ottawa, ASIFA-EAST, anise, or any others that are brought to my attention, for what is the harm in sending it. But most likely I will post it online and use it in my demo reel next year.


• What is your biggest time management challenge, and what is your plan for dealing with it from here through the end of the semester?

Dealing with my class writing and research, while finding time to animate, and since last weekend was a holiday affair I wasn't able to do much work, but outside my papers I don't have any family plans so I should be alright if I stay ahead of myself. 

• Which of your classmates’ films do you particularly like? Why? What is the strongest element of their piece? Where would you make suggestions?

I like Karima's for I like her color theory she is using to enhance the story, and Ericas character animation is stunning. Eun Ock has a very well paced and planned story so I can't wait to see the finished product after she has completed her animation.

journal questions

What were the three most important points you absorbed from the mid-semester crit?

That I need to put in more pauses into my scenes and an end scene showing Porsha running off would help explain where she is going. A third thing that was said was to change how Porsha gets off scene for she looks as if she is being pulled off rather than running off.

Journal Questions

what’s the approach to working on this piece that’s worked the best for you so far? 

• what elements do you find you need to put you in a comfortable and productive frame of mind for working:


I find I focus better in class room environment. With a big table, nice seat, outlet, and wifi are mostly what I need. but being in a room where everyone is working really helps me concentrate. Other than that I also do well in my room on the kitchen table, in the afternoon.

Journal post

What has been the most challenging part of getting work done on this project so far? How are addessing overcoming this challenge?'

I find tying to edit my animation down to 2 minuets while simultaneously animating a well acted characters to be very difficult and is resulting in a lot of rapid and quick pased action shots, in what is suppose to be slow piece. I know that many scenes need to have more keyframe, but the animation keeps brushing with the 2 minute time line, and while I need to sit down and see what can be managed to be cut out inorder to have good pacing and tell the story, its been hard to for I keep tying to push forward to make the deadlines in the calendar. While i have been making the deadlines the work isn't as good as it could be.
