Looking Back

Mistakes

           There was so much that went wrong and right with this project. I knew from the start I would have to face these unexpected challenges. I did try to minimize the amount of mistakes, but there always bound to happen. Just thinking about the small annoying things like equipment remind me of this. Of course both my tripods did not work with my iPhone adapter. I just ended up wedging paper into one of the tripods. The other I bent a piece of rubber already attached to the tripod.    

          And then of course all the hardware issues with my computer. Using Cinema 4d, Adobe After effect's, and Adobe Photoshop is straining on my pc. The amount of storage alone that the software files make is insane. Not to mention all the actual media being rendered, used, and stored. I made it work though, and I am happy with how insane the After Effects layers look. I learned a lot from working with all this software and hardware. 

        Another annoying time was when I forgot my map when was on set. I was actually with my friend that day making it more inconvenient. I could only film with him twice and both times were under time constraints. This made teaching him and then producing the shot difficult. But we both worked together and got a shots after many takes we loved. I am going to keep this posting a little shorter than normal. Tomorrow I have to wake up and put the final touches on the CCR. Then go to school and have my math test.
