I should have gotten in touch with the major studio sooner, and sought out faculty to serve as a spokesperson to give the project more legitimacy and authority than a lone student. We where well into preproduction of the project before informing them that it had even started. I was definitely overconfident of receiving a mentor from the company.
Another issue on my end was over delegation. Initially I had planned on being involved in a limited capacity, as I was already deeply involved in 2 other projects as well a being President of RITgraph. Kirk did a wonderful job on the project, and went above and beyond in his position as technical director. But I feel that some tasks that I ended up relegating to Kirk I should have retained so that I could do my tasks better. My contributions became redundant, and I worried that trying to get involved would be cumbersome to my teammates rather than helpful.
I have learned alot from this experience. Communication is key to a projects success. When ideas aren't communicated properly, work is done incorrectly, which can be a downfall to a production if it isn't caught on time. This isn't the only lesson I have learned however, but to write them all would be well, the paper I'm working on.
