Mulit-tasking!

Yesterday I was working on 3 computers at once... I had one doing test renders, one on which I continued my compositing and another where work continued on the title sequence.

Will had taken the title sequence off my hands and was finishing the sound edit. However, I needed to oversee this process as he wasn't as familiar with either After Effects or Audition as me.

I am extremely grateful that Justin hasn't been in very much the last two days as moving between his computer and mine has made my work much easier to manage.

Today I have also been using 3 machines, this time including the Mac laptop for test renders (until finally this afternoon we fixed the problem with the pc renders).

As I type this, the final comp is rendering (music video version - identical except for a slight change in the titles). My brain is completely full and I can hardly think straight anymore.

I wish I had planned my portfolio better instead of rushing things at the last moment as usual. This comping has been a HUGE amount of work. I would not for a moment suggest that I have worked harder than the other people on this project; we have pulled together as a team and that is the only reason this has worked at all. I think all I would say is that it would help in the future if we had a clearer idea of what different team members are working on.

Have help from Will and Mike was invaluable. I think on future projects, if there are a team of use working on compositing then it would be useful to be working together from the beginning, rather than at the last moment. I am equally happy to be managing a team or be supervised by someone else, but I would like to be really clear on my role and responsibility, which has not always been the case in this project.
