At times it felt as though we were going two steps forward and one step back because as soon as something went well, we would face another problem. Most of the group project was troubleshooting with all the issues we ran into. This is what I have enjoyed the most - learning and developing. This year I was able to learn MEL scripting as well as try other things like nCloth, fur and RealFlow. My skills at a technical level have improved the most. I think persevering was the right thing to do but I think we all persevered for a little too long and should have said that it was becoming too troublesome. In hindsight we should have probably cut the film a long time ago to concentrate on a personal work because it was clear just after christmas that it was a slowly sinking ship. I think another part of the problem with our original film was that none of us wanted to quit. At times it felt like I had to nag people to do things for me and I wasn't even the director. I also leant not to be afraid to call people up on not pulling their weight within the group. Part of that learning curve was to always have a contingency plan as if things do not work out, like I found, they are there to fall back on.
I have had a lot of problems with the group project and then in the end, decided it would be better to focus on my own work than try to piece together something that I would not be happy with. I have learnt more than going through this project than any other.
