Collaboration Project - Reflective statement

For the Collaboration project we were assigned into a group consisting of three members, Divine Uwadiale, Ollie Thacker and myself. At the briefing we got giving a theme/guideline of “How to cheat at...”.

After a couple of days or maybe a week we ended up choosing the theme /How to cheat at olympics/ because we thought it could be good to show our knowledge in a short movie and had some comedy to it as well. I feel like we got stuck at some point modelling complex costumes for the character instead of adding the magic of the personality of the character to make them special or different from the others. It could be so much better if everyone in our group complete their own task for example: the final scene was all set it up to be animated but isnt in the submission because the "team" didn´t finish their job. To be honest I felt like we did a lot of work that should be in the final video and it isnt, which in my opinion would make the difference in aspects of understanding the script while watching the video. 

I am Glad I have done this project and it was really hard to get it done to be honest.It gave me the opportunity to learn to model and animate in Maya 2018 and also gave me the opportunity to work with other artists in a team, with Ollie being good team leader and keeping us organised and Divine being a good character designer for costumes. I really enjoyed working in a team where we all flexible enough to change idea if needed It is also important to work together like many students do it pretty much all the time in the campus which I tried to do it as well during majority of the project. This project has given an insight of what it would be to deal with other ways of working and behaviour in creative industry.

If I could go back and do this project again I would definetely try to improve my communication skills and availability.
