With wonderful timing, the day that our animated got selected for the Animated Exeter ident, I got sick and spent the next week in bed feeling very sorry for myself.
Now I have returned to college, everything has changed. It is odd, because I know it is only becuase of the timing of my absence, but I completely missed the transition from this being mine and Ben's project to it becoming a group project. Ben is now art director, Adam and Holly are producers and I have been marked up in the whiteboard as comp'ing.
I have no objection to this (although have added myself to SFX and post-prod sound), but it is very weird to find so many people now involved in a project that I have already spent so much time on. I suppose on one hand I feel a little defencive, on the other I feel a bit bored by it after spending so many hours on the animatic!
The advantage to being post it that I do have more time now for our other project and I can rescue Will a bit. I have started some R+D too, with further experiments in 3D space ready for the compositing. Luckily I have already discussed smoke trails and fireworks with Pete Felstead, when it was still at animatic stage. Again, I feel a little defencive about other people working on it, whilst at the same time I don't want sole responsibility for anything on the final film! Grrr... I can't have it both ways! Don't know quite what's wrong, I've just lost a bit of my enthusiasm, which is a shame cos I thought I was doing ok so far this term.
