Done!

Sitting with the crew from Fusion, going over last minute changes, in the middle of a breast cancer fundraiser on the 95th floor of the Hancock building (The Signature Lounge), we finally ironed everything out.

It wasn't all work; during some of my many long renders that night, I was able to get up and enjoy the view of Chicago, and the really tasty h'orderves. Fusion Radio was there to host the event with live music, raffle events, and just random sillyness from the DJ.

So, I tagged along and worked through the night to finish all the videos for their presentation to Comcast on Teusday. I was able to finish my Earth Zoom animation that turned into my biggest project yet, and everything together it was about 3 minutes worth of animation.

So, project recap, what did I learn?

-Stick to "their" guns, not "my" guns!
-Even though I had two weeks to work on this project which was plenty of time, I kept the mindset that I didn't have enough time from the beginning. This really helped my time management, and kept the project moving along quite nicely.
-I fell in love with parts of my work, and they wanted to change it. I was a little upset, so I still have to work on selling myself and not my work.
-Plan ahead for rendering parts of an animation seperately and bring them together in the end.
-Create assets and designs to be used again in future work for the same project.

If Fusion gets the Comcast Music Channel, then there will be a LOT more work for me, plus it will be an incredible addition to my resume!
