Workin' on my site

Today I worked on the art of my website, I had another go at the mainpage, and made it look less flat. Once I did that I started work on the actual portfolio page, but I only got a couple of minutes work on it.

BPA Competition

I’m not very confident about our computer animation contest. We just had too many little things that we didn’t catch in our final product for me to think we have a chance. We forgot to add music, one of the explosions didn’t have any sound, and we had trouble even getting our equipment to work. Also the fact that we had to wait an extra hour upstairs, standing around and stressing out didn’t really help our overall performance. The one good thing is that if I can do this competition again next year I think I could do really well. Most of our problems were caused by inexperience and us fumbling around not quite knowing what was going on.

Overall I would have to say the competition was a bad experience for me. Other than when I got to model and animate I never enjoyed myself and I also had to deal with group members that I found vexing to say the least. Two group members who shall remain nameless improved over the course of the project and were workable with, but another member had an extremely pessimistic attitude and became the annoying voice of doom, escalating in his portents of death (literally) right up till we parted ways after the competition, which did nothing but hurt moral and annoy the rest of us.
