So first of all my weekend before hand in has been more than hectic. I have never had such stress levels like the ones I had over the weekend. Everything was majority done but I kept finding things to do and wanting to add to. Overall I think what I created was ok, I really enjoyed making vehicles and trying to bring them back to there original self as they would of been seen in the day.
Modeling I think has to be my strongest feature when creating something and I have found out through out this project that there is so much to learn, even more so than what I have been taught at university, plus there is so much resource to help you learn what you want. I need to get out there.
Throughout the project I have had the constant problem of time management. I must get over this, I think it was a huge problem due to the fact I got to make my own brief and being open to endless possibilities. If I had made everything alot stricter and consistent and I would of been able to push myself alot further than I have done. Working alone has really made me understand that it isn't all it's cracked up to be. Teamwork as you would when working in a company would be alot better as you can bounce ideas off each other and also keep yourself grounded and not have your head up in the clouds when working. Keeps everyone level headed.
On a more positive note, I enjoyed myself through all of it, including the stress, downs and thinking that I couldn't go on anymore. Even though I do not think I will achieve anything, I have learnt so much. The skills are there, I just need to expand on them and get out and explore. Build sketchbooks of colour and traditional skills, how I've missed that, and photograph everything and anything.
I guess in a way university has made me realise you don't need to be told what to do to achieve something, you need to get out of that box and do something more original. Set the goal for yourself and along the way achieve the goals that are set by other people.
Just a little side quest, that will take you miles from the original quest. There will always be goodies on the way.
