Milestone 03- The Catch Up Plan

This week I had scene 6 and 7 to do from last week. Then Try to accomplish all of the inbetweens for scene 1 and 2. It took me through Sunday night to get finished with scene 6 and 7. That only left me with two days to animate all the inbetweens for two scenes. I obviously couldn’t do it. I think that would have been imposable to pull off. I managed to get all of scene 1 done though, and one shot from scene 2.

I have to think of a way to save time and get caught up. I went through my film, listing each shot, and each character in each shot. Then I made a “Catch Up Plan”, scheduling a day to day list of stuff I had to get done. There are about 5 to 6 characters on each day that I have to animate. This is still ridiculously ambitious, so I gave myself 4 days into March that I could use for catching up to the “Catch Up Plan.” I also decided to eliminate Phase 4 from my Production Process. I feel that the pencil tests were taking quite a while to accomplish, and if I could cut any of the pencil tests it was for the inbetweens. So I’ll go from inbetweens to final drawings, then if I need to pencil test at that point I will.

From Monday the 6^th to the end of Tuesday the 14^th, I worked 55 and a half hour. Though I didn’t make my Milestone 3 check point, I’m closing the gap from how far behind I fell on week 2.
