Problems Incurred

Issues arose with lost files recently and now i am behind on both this project and an animation for another module, meaning my time scales have been skewed and im now in a slight bit more of a rush, and unsure if i can even recover the files at this point.

I have now lost project files from brief one and my 3d character models for this project, however i have been working on alternative means.

i have been recruiting back up actors incase this plan does not work, they will be the fighters.
but hopefully it wont come to that and i can pursue this green screen method.

the basic idea is i will use real like objects or toys/toy fighters and either simply green screen them in and make it cheesier than planned, or stop motion green screening them in.
This does complicate the project but not completely, this is an equally fascinating approach to creating FIGHT!
The stage has been set and i will either 3d track object using this and then pop them onto a matte painting, Or i will 3d track toys, and either move them manually or use stop motion possibly.

creating the shadow boxes gave me a few more ideas, and then i began to think about the time scale, as well as i want to do this project i cant look past the elephant in the room, what is worse than a boring project, is an incomplete project.
The aim is keeping it simple at this point.

I will continue experimenting with these ideas before settling on one to pursue to the next stage within the week and hopefully getting myself back on schedule.
