Change in project type.

The final major project is the most important project of the course.The project that will decide if we as a group advance to level 3, or if we will be forced to drop games design. As of today, Tuesday the 19th of April, I have only 5 weeks and three days until project deadline, the 27th of May.

This short amount of time is no where near enough to create an animation worthy of a merit, the grade necessary to move to level 3. I believe the reason my work has reached the point that it has is because I did not manage my time as effectively as I could have. I spent too long on some parts, such as the initial sketches, and not long enough on others, the gantt chart.
As I have came to this conclusion I have decided to change what my FMP will be.

Rather than create an animation based around martial arts, I shall instead be producing a series of Photoshop drawings based off of the original martial arts idea. As I will not have to focus on making hundreds of separate frames to an animation I will be able to focus on placing much more detail and character into everything, from the background to the characters.
 The mood board and initial sketches that are already up on my blog can still be used as a basis for each individual picture as well.
