As a professional, you'll have to produce 30 to 50 panels A DAY to get the job done. So imagine what that's like! This is why we become overworked and bitter. You've been warned. :) K OK, I’m not saying this to devalue how much work you put into those 52 panels you did in a week (because I KNOW you did…right on!), but to give a reality check to everyone else reading.

Well, i'll try to tell my self at least i did the dance once so maybe I'll be stronger/more organized next time. The bright side is knowing that as a student i was able to kill 52 decent panels in a week AND photoshop them all together. I got lucky on some of this stuff, but the big, memorable headache was getting those letters of recommendation. Between myself and my teachers that didn't go too well. I gotta give myself a CHUNK of time for that specifically next time. still, great post!i could use all the help i can find. HAHA!

I was reading the part where you were talking about camera moves, tough, and realized that I didn't know the standard ways to indicate such camera moves. That would be a pretty sweet post, too, I think. And to everyone else, I agree with Jon up there....DO THE CRITIQUE!!! She really helped me out of a bind with my senior film. Totally worth it.
