Applied Animation: Rotoscoping Part 2 - Nothing but Disaster

For the second half of the animation I needed to actually animate how you should animate and there was quite a lot of it to do so, to save time (as I was struggling a little with time management at this point) I decided to rotoscope the majority of the animation. Everything was going great and I had completed the entire animated section of the animation I'd even rendered (coloured in) all of the frames. However, this victory was short lived, as when I came to save and create a back up of the world the file decided to corrupt leaving me with over 200 frames to render all over again and a few frames to rotoscope again. At the same time, the back plate I had designed to be used as Sheepsridge also corrupted leaving me with even more work to re-do as I had no earlier version of this file to hand.

At this point there was nothing I could do and I only have a week before final crit. I will try my best to complete as much of the work as possible, in order to give the best possible impression of what the remaining animation is to look like. In future I will remember to save earlier versions of files and to create back ups that aren't on an external hard drive or USB, as this will give me more safe guards in case things go wrong again.
