ALL HANDED IN!

TODAY I HANDED IN MY FINAL FOLDERS, I NEVER REALISED HOW MUCH WORK I HAD DONE IN ALL FOLDERS. I GOT THIS DONE BY THURSDAY NIGHT AND IT WAS A HUGE RELIEF TO HAND IT IN TODAY.... BUT THEN PROBLEMS STARTED.

I GOT IN AT 11AM AS I PLANNED TO BE DONE BY 12 EVEN THOUGH THE HAND IN WAS PUT BACK TO 4. JOHN AND RACHEL DECIDED NOT TO TURN UP UNTIL HALF 4. I TEXT THEM REPEATEDLY ASKING WHERE THEY WERE AND ALL JOHN WOULD SAY WAS THE FILM IS ALMOST FINISHED, WE'LL BE THERE SOON.

I WAS TOLD THREE TIMES THEY WERE ON THERE WAY BEFORE THEY ACTUALLY WERE.

I WAS WITH RAPHAEL AND WAN AT THIS POINT WHO WERE BOTH WAITING ON JOHN AND RACHEL FOR SCREEN SHOTS TO USE IN THEIR FOLDERS. I ASKED JOHN TO BRING IN THE SCREENSHOTS AND I GOT THE REPLY, I CANT BE BOTHERED TO BRING IN ANY HARD DRIVE OR LAPTOP, IM ONLY BRINGING IN THE FILM ON DVD.

THEY THEN DECIDED TO COME IN AND COMPLAIN ABOUT LACK OF SLEEP, WHICH EVERYONE IS SUFFERING FROM RECENTLY. THEY SAID THERE WERE LOTS OF PROBLEMS WITH THE COMPOSITING THEY WILLINGLY DECIDED TO TAKE ON LAST NIGHT, AND AS THEY DID NOT COME IN I COULD NOT HELP THEM. I OFFERED BUT AS THEY NEVER TOLD ME UNTIL THEY CAME IN AND THEY JUST KEPT MAKING EXCUSES THAT THEY'D BE THERE SOON I FEEL QUITE LEFT OUT OF THIS PART.

SURPRISINGLY JOHN GAVE ME MY HARD DRIVE BACK WITH RENDER SHOTS ON, BUT IT WAS TOO LATE TO GIVE ANYTHING TO WAN OR RAPHAEL AT THAT POINT, AND I FEEL SORRY FOR THEM AND I FEEL I HAVE LET THEM DOWN. WAN HAS DONE AN AMAZING JOB WITH THE DYNAMICS AND RAPHAEL DID A HARD PIECE OF ANIMATION, AND BECUASE JOHN AND RACHEL DIDN'T WANT TO COME IN ANY EARLIER THEY HAVE NOW BOTH LOST OUT.

AFTER WATCHING THE FILM AND STUDYING IT SO I CAN MAKE IMPROVEMENTS FOR THE DEGREE SHOW I WAS SHOCKED, APPAULED AND OUTRAGED.

JOHN OR RACHEL, AND TO BE HONEST ID ASSUME JOHN, HAS MADE SEVERAL CHANGES BEFORE WE RENDERED AND NOT TOLD ME. I HAVE ONLY JUST FOUND OUT AS I STUDIED THE FILM. HE HAS NOT MENTIONED A WORD.

HE HAS DELETED THE TREE FROM OUTSIDE OF THE OLD PEOPLES HOME WHICH I ADDED AS JOHNS MODELS ARE VERY BLOCKY. HE HAS DELETED MY OLD PEOPLE'S SIGN FROM OUTSIDE THE OLD PEOPLE'S HOME AS WELL, WHICH IS THERE TO MAKE IT OBVIOUS OLD PEOPLE INHABIT THAT HOUSE. THE LAMBERT HE APPLIED TO THE JEHOVAH'S WITNESS AT THE END IS TRANSPARENT AND IT SHOULDN'T BE. WHEN HE COMPOSITIED THE AFTER EFFECTS ANIMATIONS HE HAS TOTALLY RUINED TWO OF THEM, THEY ARE IN MY FOLDERS AND YOU CAN SEE THEY WORK, BUT SOMEHOW HE'S MADE THEM NOT WORK. I ASKED HIM TO EXTEND THE ERROR SHOT FOR ME FOR A FEW FRAMES AND HE HASN'T.

HE ALSO CHANGED A TABLE IN THE TEA AREA, MINE FOR HIS OWN, WHICH IS OUT OF PROPORTION (THE LOWER HALF WOULD NOT BE REALISTIC, THE WOOD IS TOO THICK), HIS ANIMATION OF THE OLD LADY WITH THE ZIMMER FRAME, HER HANDS GO THROUGH HER ZIMMER FRAME, THE OLD ARMY MAN HE ANIMATED DROPS THE GRENADE WHEN ONLY THE PIN SHOULD FALL AND HIS HAND OBSCURES THE SHOT OF THE PIN FALLING. JOHN HAS ALSO CHANGED THE CAMERA SHOT BY THE TELEVISION AREA SO MY OLD MAN SLEEPING IS NO LONGER IN SHOT.

AS FOR RACHEL HER ANIMATION OF THE SCYTHE WHEN GRIM LEAVES THE CRYPT IS A BIT POOR AS IT JUMPS, AND WHEN GRIM TAUNTS THE NURSE HIS PDA IS IN HIS HAND WHEN IT SHOULDN'T BE.

MISTAKES ON MY BEHALF WOULD BE I NEVER GOT TO FINISH THE LOGO AT THE START, AND I WOULD OF LIKED TO OF MADE A TEAR FOR GRIMS FACE WHEN HE CRIED BUT I WASN'T GIVEN THE SCENE SO I COULDN'T DO SO.

I ALSO READ THROUGH THE CREDITS AND FOUND MISTAKES AS MY NAME BEING SPELT 'JAME'S DEAN' , THE FACT I WROTE THE SCRIPT WAS NOT MENTIONED, HE MISPELT MODELLING (MODDELING), MISPELT PATRICKS LAST NAME, FORGOT TO MENTION BEN WOODHEAD MODELLED A TEA SET FOR US, DIDNT SAY THANKS TO JESS FOR LENDING US THE BUS, OR DAVE FOR LENDING US A LEAF TEXTURE.

I DO LIKE THE MUSIC, SEEING AS I HADN'T HEARD IT NO MATTER HOW MUCH I ASKED JOHN HOW IT WAS GOING, AND REPEATADLY ASKED TO HEAR IT FOR WEEKS AND WEEKS. THE SAME GUY WHO RECORDED OUR MUSIC WAS SUPPOSED TO DO OUR SOUND BUT AS YOU CAN PROBABLY TELL, THE WHOLE FILM LACKS SOUND EFFECTS, IT GOES TOO QUIET MOST OF THE TIME AND NEEDS ALOT MORE WORK. THIS IS DOWN TO OUR SOUND GUY GOING ON HOLIDAY, AND JOHN AND RACHEL STEPPING IN. TO BE HONEST ITS A POOR JOB, AND I THOUGHT THEY COULD OF DONE BETTER. IF THEY HAD COME IN TODAY FOR HAND IN EARLIER I COULD OF EASILY DONE ALL OF THE SOUND WHILST TTHEY COMPOSITED, BUT THEY DIDN'T AND I WAS LEFT IN THE DARK.

I ACTUALLY ONLY SAW THE FINAL FILM AFTER THEY HAD HANDED IT IN.

I PLAN TO SPEND THE NEXT THREE WEEKS FINISHING THE FILM, I'LL DO THIS ALL ON MY OWN IF I HAVE TO BECAUSE I DONT FEEL IT IS WORTHY OF SHOWINGG AT THE DEGREE SHOW WHICH SUCH MAJOR FAULTS.
