Major Project 19 - Getting Worried

With only a week until the deadline, I've accepted that I won't be able to finish my film for the deadline. This really upsets me, but I know that it's just not realistic anymore. I am still very confident to get it finished for the end of year show. 

I have been consistently a week behind schedule for nearly 2 months since waiting for the final drone and textures from Dan. While he was behind schedule too, I could definitely have been doing more in this time. I initially had 7 weeks of drone animation on my schedule, which was more time than I needed. When I did receive the final drones, I was 4 weeks behind, with only 3 weeks left dedicated to drone animation, which I then completed in 4 weeks.


But in the weeks waiting for the final drones, I could have been doing more to get ahead with other types of shots. My mentality at the time was that I didn't want to get caught up doing lots of other types of shots then having to go back to drone animation, I wanted to do every kind of effect in it's own chunk. This inability to be flexible has ultimately caused the main delay and resulted in the film being unfinished. 

I have been very organised other than this main setback, prioritising shots in order of how important they are to telling the story. My priority between now and hand in is to make sure the film makes as much sense as it can, I hope I can still get a lot done, however I know that it will not be properly finished.
