moving on... Even after me and Rachel had been awake for two days straight finishing the film and fixing James mistakes he still had the audacity to complain about mistakes which were his fault that we tried to fix. James offered Nothing to help finishing the film which was why it was right up to hand in before me and rach got in, if James had worked as hard as he claims to we would'nt have to have rushed the film at the end. there were loads of problems with james After Effects work he had completly ignored all the shot timings and made them to what ever timing his little mind wanted they did not fit with the render shots even though Rachel had given him all the timings with lables stating what shots were what. but what can you do if its a day before hand in and you still get handed incomplete and half done work. me and Rachel had tried to fix the Pda shots but in the end there was not enough time and they should have been finished weeks ago but James had Failed to even learn after effects before this week.
James was suppost to have done the credits with the title sequence but yet again failed to accomplish even the simplest of task's for hand in. Rachel had to do the credits a few minutes before hand in and I don't blame her for any mistakes as she had not slept and did not have enought time to complete them, the credits will be redone for the degree show and as they were for hand in they did not matter that much.
As for james complaining about Rachels animation being 'a bit poor' is laughable, none of James little animations were to a good standard I had to fix his window cleaner animation as it was not looped the bucket had not been animated and the sponge had keys rather than being parented, his chess player being animated in the wrong place even through me and Rachel had told him exactly where to animate him and his laughting character had one joint keyed for the laughting sequence. so even though James spent weeks animating he still could not produce anything to a good standard everything had to be fixed which took time.
Music and Sound were also an issue because Ben who was doing our music found it hard to create music to the 2d animatic which i had already stated that we should have done a 3d animatic as the timing and cameras would have been sorted months ago and Ben would have got the feel of the film which cannot be seen in a 2d animatic. the reason James gave for the 2d animatic was because everyone else was doing one which is quite pathetic. as for the sound effects Ben also had to do those because James had failed to contact his friend who was suppost to do sounds untill this week even though I continued to ask him to through out this term and the last. I was very pleased what ben had managed in the 3 days he had due to James incompetence, me and rach tried to add the missing sound effects last night and we did the best we could and we were happy in the fact that ben will continue to do sound for me and Rachel to now finish the film without being held back by James incompetence lack of talent and just being Lazy.
