I applied for an extension because I was not able to render everything on time due to the rigs issue. However, one week was enough for me to finish rendering the rest of the scenes and doing the last adjustments for the final animation film.
Overall, I am very happy with the result. Of course, there are bits of animation that I wish to improve, as well as the lighting, but considering all the complications and the timing I think the result is better that I could have expected.
I am very happy that I had an opportunity to tell the story directing everything myself, also I am thankful for the collaboration with Kieran who did sound design. We were both very pressured with time but managed to do everything on time (almost considering the EC).
I am planning to imrove my animation in the next few months and apply with it for various festivals as I think the idea behind the plot is worth seeing by as many people as possible.
Here is the end result (for now) of my animation “Little Sweetheart”:
