Minor Reflective Statement

For me minor was a very up and down project, but overall I feel it was a success and I had fun with the work I made and happy with the realisations I came to during it. My biggest downfall with the project was pursuing a new side of my project, after doing it I soon realised, it wasn’t sparking joy with my and just felt like too much. After, what I feel like was a positive premise project, I was advised to expand on the ideas I had in order to make a longer final film. I feel I wasted a lot of time I could have used refining the work I had from premise, making new designs and an animatic. While making the new animatic for OGR in November I realised my heart wasn’t in it, and after dropping the idea and continuing with the work I was passionate about my project began to gain traction again, even if it was quite late. 

When I think back at minor it feels like I hardly did anything new however looking at the progress I made with my model, which was a huge learning curve for me. As well as getting into analogue sculpting was also a positive experience that I feel adds to my project. 

While I still feel Minor was a success I have realised that my biggest downfall other than a slow start was not seeing it as it’s own project, because it’s directly followed by major, I think I feel into the trap of seeing it as one large project. However the project did teach me things that are gonna be beneficial for my final steps in my Major.
