So in case anyone cares, I'm currently in the process of the final edit stages of Nothing to Fear, an animation I've been slowly picking away at completing for longer than I'd like to admit. I'm currently having original music created by these lovely guys and at the rate of how things are going it will finally be finished within the next month.

Over the last month or so I've had a break from the freelance work I've been doing for a cyber secruity company and gone into overdrive to finish this off at last while I have the oppotunity. I'm currently going through a finer edit stage, cleaning up frames I'm not happy with and looking out for glaring errors but also trying to remember that I can't fix everything, as I don't want to fall into the trap of overworking the piece, or just never finishing it through a determential sense of perfectionism. Doing these proffesional gigs has made me realize more than ever that sometimes it's important to know that you have to finish things one day, and sooner or later you have to put it down and say you're done. 

That said though, I don't regret spending the time I have on this animation. The characters in it are ones I've been wanting to work with back when I was in college and I certainly want to do more with them (although while Nothing to Fear is about 10 minutes long, I can't say I'd like to go over the 5 minute mark again anytime soon. Not while I have commitments like a 'regular job'). I can't stress how much of a learning curve this has been for me personally. I've even made a few friends that I consider close to me despite the fact they pretty much all live in other countries. It's easily the best work I've ever produced and makes my graduation film years ago look, frankly, awful by comparison! Anyway, with that! I hope whoever see's the end result enjoys the piece! I've put everything I have into it.
