City of Hope - The Grim Reality

Working with others is super duper difficult and frustrating.  I guess it makes a difference when you are assigned groups instead of being able to choose your own group members.

I've handled things....civilly to say the least. The final product is not something I will include in my animation reel or portfolio.  It's not up to par with my other work.  Although, I will most likely include, in my portfolio, the parts I have 100% fully designed.  I'm very happy with those and wish I had more time on this project overall.  I guess I wished I was given the time (it probably would have taken a few months) to just do everything myself.  It might have been better that way and I would have had complete control over the final quality.

Sadly, there are some things you can't change.  But I made the best out of what I was dealt and guided the group to completion and did so with the best behavior and decisions I could have made.

I just wish a lot of things were different.

I did not emerge from this product with elevated hopes as I had initially wished.  Every bit of enthusiasm I once had for this project was destroyed and I had to look at the grim reality that it is much better working alone.
