Minor heading into Major

So at the end of the minor project heading into the major I have to take a look at what I said I wanted complete, as well as what I want I got done and what I thought I would be doing for my major project. At the beginning of the minor project I wanted to have;

• Story
• Voice over
• The complete block models of all scenes
• Finished scenes for Barbara's rooms (including textures)
• Pre-vis with voice over
• Art of pages for Barbara's rooms

With this being my target for my minor, what would be left over to do would be for my major. So my major project would consist of;

• Finished scenes for crime house (including textures)
• Pre-vis (if needs changing)
• Finished animation
• 'Art of'

The main struggle I came across was keeping to a size scale for the models. With the style being realistic, the sizes of objects needed to be correct, so they don't look out of place. This was a massive time consumption that I did not fully take into consideration. With this and poor time management meant I only got done;

• Story
• Voice over
• Block models (still needs small object to make it feel like a home)
• Barbara's rooms (still needs small object to fill out the rooms and textures)
• Pre-vis with voice over (not polished)

With only reaching this point at the end of the minor, my major project will now involve;

• Block models (still needs small object to make it feel like a home)
• Barbara's rooms (still needs small object to fill out the rooms and textures)
• Finished scenes for crime house (including textures)
• Pre-vis (if needs changing)
• Finished animation
• 'Art of'

Minor - Reflective statement

Reflective statement

At the beginning of this minor project I was excited to do project that I set the premise for. I knew what I wanted to do and where I wanted to be by the end of it. By the end date I wanted to have the story set out, block models and the voice over done. As well as the pre-vis and the UV's for Barbara's scene done. I feel that at the beginning of the project, I could push for this amount of work to be complete and that if I keep to a timeline, I could keep up with it. I feel like I was on track until half way through. Where due to poor time management with no fault but my own, work slowed down.

The main struggle I came across was keeping to a size scale for the models. With the style being realistic, the sizes of objects needed to be correct, so they don't look out of place. This was a massive time consumption that I did not fully take into consideration. With the work only getting to voice over, block models, pre-vis and slightly more detailed models for Barbara's scene. I Plan on setting out a more detail day by day plan to catch up on what needs to be finished and to stay on track.

Overall I've learnt a lot at this point, I feel my project is heading in the right direction. I just need to stay on top of it.
