Three Most Crucial Challenges

... and how to over come them.
Goals for this project
Mid-term: Pre-Pro/ Style / Scratch track
Final: All animation complete allowing minor tweaks to be made after term.
Three most crucial challenges:
1. Time/Scheduling/Priorities: with only seven weeks to go lots of work to get done.
Strategy to overcome: Production schedule that sets goals, keeping in mind that this will be flexible as needed.

2. Initial Commitment: Identified personal challenge of choosing one idea. Once I am committed to a project there is no issue in determination and meeting deadlines.
Strategy to overcome: Documenting all ideas on paper and keeping them on file. That way I know that an idea will not be "lost." Placing goal on production schedule that allows for time to play with ideas, yet gives solid time so that production time is not compromised.

3. Lack of 2D skill. Personal challenge of lack of experience in traditional drawing skills. Making practice a priority, getting over fear of failure in this area.
Strategy to overcome: Daily practice scheduled and utilized. Would like to set goal of 2 hours per day, will experiment if it should be a two hour session or split up. Research formal methods to increase skill and implement. Did basic gesture drawings this morning will do more this evening.
