Today I finished the animation for Ed's film and gave him the Maya file with all six shots. I am happy with the animation I have done and, most importantly, Ed is happy with the animation for his film. I am pleased with what I managed to do with the time I had, as well as restarting my demo reel.
I have done a total of 308 frames which is almost 13 seconds of animation.
Overall, I have enjoyed working on Ed's film. Working in a team has been beneficial, not just for the work I can use in my demo reel, but it was an experience that showed me just how important communication, trust and team work is when working on a project together.
I think the experience I have had working on Ed's film will be similar to that of working in a team in the industry although there will be some differences. I think the teams will be much bigger with more people doing a much wider variety of tasks. I also think it will be more professional in terms of more daily deadlines.
