BFA and PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT SELF CRITIQUE

So far I am happy with the way my BFA is looking, but I need to pick up the pace. I'm spending too much time revising my animatic and deciding my color schemes. Right now I am behind on my calendar, and I should be animating right now if I want be done animating by winter break. That is my goal for the semester. I originally planned to pick my colors in tandem with painting my backgrounds over the winter break after spending this semester animating, but deciding on color first is a better approach. Plus, I get feedback from the class. As a result of doing it this way, we've decided on a better color scheme for the main character. Figuring out the approach for executing each stage is important and is making this process a lot less difficult than what it can be. I really enjoy seeing everyone's progress on their BFA work. I can see how their ideas are being realized and I am motivated even more to push myself harder with meeting my goals.

I have not been spending as much time on my professional development as I have been on my BFA work. I know what I want to do, I'm just not sure of the best method for realizing y goals. Should i go to graduate school or try t get a job animating. Right now, I'll invest more time into researching jobs and graduate schools for animation while continuing to develop my personal work. I've emailed my revised resume, and will be having reviewed Friday. I have to make my demo reel shorter by cutting down one clip. Other than that, I can start considering how I can enhance my title cards. Meanwhile, I'll write down my ideal plan for my goals. This will help me decide how to approach meeting them. So far, writing has helped me stay on track with timing out key frames etc. I'll just apply that to figuring out how to go about reaching my goals for professional development.
