Self-Reflective text

So considering i'm doing this project solo ive put up a time frame of 15 weeks which i was given, i think i have spread the time frame enough to make it work for me. Modelling and Animation ive added most of the time since i know that's gonna take most of my time however, i have also added enough time on other place in the production line. If there is spare time, if i finish earlier then expected on things like concept art, story, storyboard or even rigging i'll put that time somewhere else. You never know what might go wrong during such long projects, you might hit a bump here and there and that's where the extra might come in handy. I think my Production planning is realistic and executable due to good time frame and if there is something to come up like a change along the production line i have set a spare week just in case that should happen. 

I have gone through several other Production plans and flowcharts of previous student and even real studio's and there isn't much difference between mine and their which should say something.

Now like i said, i'm doing this alone so the only thing here which could fail is my self if i work too hard and simply burn up. But that why i set up my schedule so i can work 8-9 hours a day with exception of working longer some days so i don't have to work in the weekends as much.

I think ive set sufficient time through the whole production line so i don't have to be afraid of not having enough time to finish this last project!

Overall the positive side of my Production Plan would be that i have set off alot time for each section of the production and if there is anything to happen i have a week spare.

 The only downside would have to be working too much with too little break days that might cause me to burn out and fall behind on the project. Hopefully with following this plan that won't happen and working some days longer would aloud me to take a break some days!
