Overall/Conclusion

 Overall, I am satisfied with how the whole project turned out in the end. I think personally what helped me was good planning at the beginning of the project meaning I knew what I wanted my project to be and have further developed ideas. This helped me in the later phases of the project. Furthermore, good planning helped me with finishing the project on time this is because referring back to the Gantt Chart i was able to tell whether or not I was behind the schedule or on track.  Furthermore, there were some bumps along the way like for example aforementioned issue with Blender in the pose mode which was causing me to crash the software and lose the progress. To prevent the loss progress I started to save project files under different endings in order to have some backup in case the software would crash. If I were to do this project again I would most likely switch to Cinema4D as it might not have that issue.  I think except that I didn't stumble upon any issues. However...

What i would improve if i were to do the project again

 If i were to do the project again i would include everything i decided to cut away for example the scene with the neighbour as well as the main character would walk in to the pawn shop. This would make the animation more interesting and it would set aside the main quest for the protagonist.  As well as in order to improve the project i would maybe do it in the different software for example in Cinema4D. This is due to the some amount of crashing i had throughout the project. Furthermore, i heard that Cinema4D is more intuitive for beginners. Changing the software might resolve the issues i had throughout the project and might make my workflow faster as i wouldn't have to keep on recovering the files and saving along the way.

Indesign

 Today, i have been working on transferring my revised proposal onto an Indesign project in order to make the proposal look more professional. Furthermore, during late phases of the project i have decided i wanted to design the proposal in Indesign because I wanted to make sure that the proposal looks professional and doesn't stand out from the rest of the project. And in a sense it would be a foundation for the project

Problems/Issues along the way

 Some of the problems i have encountered during the project was the issue with Blender. This is because sometimes when entering the Pose Mode within the software it would cause the software to crash and it would not revert to the latest saved version. Furthermore, after googling following issue apparently other people have encountered similar issue as well. The main issue was that you are not able to pinpoint what is the exact issue of the crash because the software just closes down. As well as the fact that it would not open the latest saved version but the version from when you opened the software.  Except that i didn't encounter any issues with the project. https://developer.blender.org/T81164 https://blenderartists.org/t/pose-mode-crashes-blender/522629/2

Editing

 Today, I have started editing my main artefact together by putting bits together and the rendered pieces together. Furthermore, as I have said before I have decided to use Premiere Pro rather than Blender as Premiere Pro was more advanced as well as I am more familiar with it. Which allowed me to work more efficiently
