Matte Painting GIF
Major Project - Reflective Statement
I think this is one of the toughest projects I have ever undertaken in my time in education. I have felt both scared and stressed out believing I will fail this whole course if I even remotely submitted anything subpar and thus fail at having a career in animation. Not helping was the Covid pandemic which has greatly affected the university, my mental health, my course, my family, among much more. While I think I am likely to pass the course now that I have submitted all the necessary components for my major project, needless to say there is quite a bit I wish I could have done better. The reason I believe for a lot of this was simply time. Some was out of my control other times I feel I could have done something to help myself give a better outcome of the project. I cannot help but feel that while it could've gone a lot worse my project could've been a lot better if I had a bit more time such as having better time management and stopping myself from procrastinating as often.
Hey Ted - can I suggest you create some test renders of your scene with the matte painting and post for feedback, as my instincts are you may need to revisit the style of your matte painting when it compares with your models - I have a feeling your matte painting may be a little too 'impressionist' and painterly but we'd need to see the various elements working together to be sure :). You've got the time, so let's see some render tests :)
