The Complexities Of Visual Effects

There are many things I have learned from my visual effects course and one of them is the frustration of dealing with 3d rendering and green screen footage. Admittedly, my green screen footage has me recording it as camera man, actor and director, meaning that there are bound to be a lot of problems. This is only compacted when I am unable to compare data on my computer as it is too busy dealing with rendering the 3d scene for the fourth time, which only compounds the problem when you realise that it's taking over four hours to render three seconds of footage.

I wonder if these problems occur in the film and animation industries and by that I mean, how often do they go back because of some minor inconsistency? It's an interesting thought, though as the person trying to get this assessment done on time, I could also see how those people like directors and producers could get frustrated every time a problem occurs.

The only luck I have is that I'm not doing this piece for a major company, though I have caught up on the project faster then I had originally thought, which is always good news for me.
