We had a lot of issues with the production of this film, however despite that and the unfinished state of it I am very proud of it. With this film I wanted to focus on strong production quality and I feel I achieved that with the BG's and compositing. It was also very eductional in giving me hands on experience with working in a team for a short film, and I am hugely grateful for all the work KK and Ceylin did.
I had a lot of trouble personally with finding the energy in the production stages, and I didn't do enough on the BG's, and that in combination with KK's insane workload meant we had to cut the film down considerably. I think it still makes sense and shows a narrative, but the pacing of the story is a bit off as the ending and the beginning are both longer than the actual main arc of the film.
One thing I definitely have learnt is that it's better to do a finished and well done short and sweet film than attempt a longer story where there isn't enough time to properly explore it.
From this project, I've found that I like suggesting ideas and inspiration for the story, but I'm bad at telling that story effectively. I think I'm too logical and stiff with my storytelling. It's something to work on, but I want to focus more on BG's than directing or story in the future anyway.
