Cyber security

So while we are also working hard on production of the PHE animation we also have cyber security in the left wing of our schedules. 

I been thinking a little about it and I ended up doing some concepts of the gremlin idea that the people we talked to in a long meeting a couple of weeks ago.

I went for a cutesy angle and some better colour schemes than the one we have to work with with PHE. Really pastel cute colours.




Hopefully this project will be a lot better than PHE has been on us. one of the main reasons why I haven't been recording the discussions and plans and progress of each week on PHE is because it's been so back and forth and genuinely nightmarish to work with them. They constantly find silly things to change or pick out of our work. and in the weeks before production it was the worst to try get feedback from them. They're still slow at giving us feedback but a part of us doesn't care anymore.

I enjoy working I really do it's just we often find ourselves doing nothing due to the lack of feedback or slow progress of the client.

So my hopes are that this new project we will be working on after the easter holidays and hopefully end PHE by, will be a lot more fun, easier happier and expressive to work with, the clients seem to want to let us do whatever we want and take our creative input into account and give us some of their own.

Im really actually looking forward to this and leaving PHE behind me as an experience.

Production!

Im not sure how heavily I can go into details but we started production of PHE finally last Wednesday. I didn't mean to take so long yet again getting back to everyone with my slowly increasing blog. I'm just honestly not sure what we can show and what we can't. Production means that we are now working and producing the actual film that'll be aired and put on .gov for people to see and well. Working on the governments terms your not sure exactly how this is gonna go down with them. Haha not wanting to get SWAT teamed or something.

Anyway, enough speculation, it's about a week and a half into production. We have about 6 or 7 shots done for the final thing, with about 23 left. Our director and producers say we have 2 weeks left to try and finish this as well. This week is over, we have next week then easter off, then we come back and it should be finished by the end of that week I believe, But I'm not confident that will happen.

We have a huge chunk of the animation not planned fully out because of lack of feedback on that said part. Apart from this it's just been working hard and knuckling down to get this over with as fast as we can. 

I think the next time I will be writing something will be in post production or at the end of the animation period to give a summary of my experience with this client.

Im sorry this journal isn't as long as the others. Theres not much to say at the moment but I wanted to keep in touch and fill you guys in on whats going on right now.
