Journal April 23rd

• what is your priority list as of today, with two weeks before deadline?
• which "babies are you prepared to kill," if necessary, in order to finish your film on time (May 7th) and fit it within the 90 second - 2-minute time constraint  - think of in-betweening, simplified color, and eliminating shots not integral to the story

My priority is to have all of my shots animated and colored. I switched some stuff around so I have to catch up on some shots.

If I have to I will have fewer sound effects because I have yet to obtain a lot of them, have fewer in-betweens, and eliminate small motions not pivotal to getting the point of the shots across. There were little reactions and looping motions I wanted to add to a bunch of shots if I had time but I am not sure if I will. I also feel like I may go slightly over two minutes, yeesh.

Journal April 16

what kind of a sound environment do you plan for your film? Realistic? More music-based? What will the role of sound be in your film?

I am going to primarily have sound effects. They will be cartoony sound effects. I am hoping to have a simple music track underscoring the action. I have spoken with a composer who said he could write the music for me. 

Original ending...I guess this would be shot 33?

Journal April 2nd

• What is your biggest time management challenge, and what is your plan for dealing with it from here through the end of the semester?
• Which of your classmates’ films do you particularly like? Why? What is the strongest element of their piece? Where would you make suggestions?



I have trouble allotting enough time do get the anticipated number of shots done each week due to work from other classes, other concerns from life, etc.

I will try to designate specific times each week that I will dedicate to this project.

I like Erika's piece because it has a nice aesthetic and also cats. Cats are neat. I feel like I would need to see the whole completed she-bang to make any real suggestions.
