Evaluation OUAN505

This module was an interesting one. I put off most of the work I had to do since I had so many other animations to work on and I didn't have time to focus on a 5 month long project. I also had enough time to do that since I was tasked with the Production and Post Production of the project. It gave me ample time to do what I needed to without having to become anxious over whether or not I would finish the animation. The only thing I really had to focus with early on was collaborating with my friend on getting a BGM track for the animation, and maybe getting a voice actor to do some narration for it. In the end neither of those ventures ended up producing anything, but I still plan to work with both of those people on a different project. I chalk this one up to some bad communication and planning on both ends.
In terms of production, I had an easy enough time finishing my scenes on time. Each scene brought with it a different challenge and I feel as though I succeeded in each adequately enough. In terms of intercommunication with my team however, I feel as though that left me wanting. I felt as though instead of collaborating with one of my partners, he instead tried to command me to do work and he scolded me when I was taking breaks. Not exactly the best situation to be in but I tried to deal with it maturely enough. I wish there was more of an equal feeling among my partners but that didn't seem to be happening. My other partner was good in terms of teamwork, he gave me good advice and helped me along with some critiques of what I was doing. So it wasn't all bad, but like I said it left me wanting.
I feel like I needed to do some more in terms of Post production. The stuff I dealt with ended up failing halfway through the project so I wish I could have worked more on the post production end of things, but my partner took over some and handled it very well in my opinion.
Overall I would say that this project went on a lot better than my previous partnered project. For one my partners actually got their work done on time, so that was a big plus. I'm not stuck with a half done animation by the end of the module. I don't know whether or not ill be putting these scenes into my showreel but I'm considering it. I like a lot of my other work much more and although Ive warmed up to the idea of an environmental animation, I'm still not sure if I want it to represent my work as a whole. Overall I would say I enjoyed the work in this project but not any more or less than any of my other projects. If you asked me whether or not I would do it differently if I had a second chance, I would probably do some things different, but I like what I did for this and It's good enough to that I can feel proud about what I got done.
