Problem Solving
Predictable problems
​
Time based problems:
-
frame rate inconsistency.
-
ran out of time
-
going over the limit of time for the animation
2D based problems:​
-
not being able to draw properly
-
software could play up
3D based problems:​
-
program could crash
-
tool limitations
-
bad modelling
-
travelleshooting issues (Maya)
Solutions
​
Time problems: I will have to make sure that I follow my planning and production schedule, and if I still fall behind I will have to work on the project in my free time
​
2D problems:
If I have troubles drawing I could always watch some tutorials that would help me. Always back up my work.
​
3D problems:
As for the 3D problem I will make sure that I practice the with the tools. Watch tutorials to help with technical things or modelling.
​

Since the next week is half term and the following week is the last week of the project, it means I have very little time to finish my bit of the work and then import it in after effects or Maya. I can use the half term as time ti finish it however I don't have the needed materials to work on my project at home. So I had a talk with the tutors about the situation. They said that me and the friend I am working with, can come at college of Thursday and Friday during the half-term.

When me and my partner tried to render the AE file we went to "file" then to "export" and clicked "add to render queue". The rendering took very long time so me and my partner thought there must be something wrong. When the rendering finished we tried to open the video but it didn't work and when we look at the details we realised that the file was too big so it wouldn't open. So we decided to use the Adobe Media Encoder as there we could control the quality of the video. When we rendered it this time it finished much faster but we forgot to reduce the time from 30 to 10 seconds so we had to go back and fix that by going to Composition and then to composition settings.

Today when I when I tried to render the AE file after I did some adjustments, I forgot to change the duration of the from 30 to 10 sec. so I had to go back and and change that from composition settings, and then render it again.
