Excited about this!

Hey guys! What's up?
How are things? I'm asking you these things and there's really no way for me to find out. So I guess those questions are rhetorical.
I dunno. It's just a part of my personality. If I'm greeting you I genuinely care to hear those answers.

I'm working. Just workin'! Drawing and animating and drawing s'more. Oh and coloring.
This project already has given me so much.
I feel, though, that it's not the best piece. The more I think about it... The more I get sad. The thing is, is that, it's my second ever animated piece. Some of my peers are already so good at this animation thing and I just feel like I'm behind them. I want to stand next to them in skill.
I discovered that in following my path I chose there are lots of struggles and that I didn't really pick a strength of mine.
I picked things that I wanted to be better at. With that decision I hope it's clear of my intentions with what I create. I hope my idea and emotion come across in it. I might not have picked the best camera shots or angles but I did what I though was best. It also may not be as dynamic as others but I hope it has an impact emotionally.

I have a lot of self doubt. I think it's justified. It's a sink or swim world and I don't want to drown.

I have been still just getting my rough animation into cleaned up frames while coloring along the way.
I've been animating the things as they come up, basically just going from the beginning to the end.

Once that stuff is done I can finalize the music. I picked some stuff up from Incompetech. I hope to mix it well and use my audio skills to make something fun.

I've been working on this project pretty diligently with separating life with work. I've been setting aside a lot of time to get this done and work on it almost daily from 12pm to 7pm. It's been giving me a lot of headway and I'm proud of myself because had I been myself a year or two ago I would be procrastinating worse.

It's been tough to just do everything at once. This project is hard man. I hope to just get better at it so I can get working on my after school goals.
