DONE!

The Prize is done! It feels so good to be done. I am rendering out the final Quicktime as I type this. So much work and I am happy with the final product. When I started I wasn’t to sure about going with the cut out animation style, but now that it is done, I am happy I made that choice. I think it lends itself to the story and makes it look kind of childish but still has creepiness to it. I think what really holds it all together is the sound. The sound makes such a big difference. I have watched it with and without the sound and they have completely different feelings to them. Without the sound it is just a kid in the woods winning a bear and then at the end bear attacks him. With the sound the walking now was a little bit of tension and the bear at the end carries more weight and ends the film on a high note. I cant wait to have a few days off, but I am already looking forward to my next film…
