Anyways, last night I got to see the Princess and the Frog and it was absolutely gorgeous! I was just so impressed with everything; the animation, the backgrounds. Being inspired, I woke up this morning and wanted to get straight to work. Well when I opened the file my computer froze. I restarted and decided to get rid of a lot of things, to create space. After I did that, I reopened my background file, and now it looks like this.
Of course, being the brilliant person that I am, I chose not to save different versions. Yes, I made that stupid decision all on my own. The smart thing would have been to save multiple versions... In the past I've saved 30 versions of the same background, but I thought, things will be okay this time. I'll just save it as one file. No, nothing bad will happen...
It's so aggrevating, and I guess I have to start it over. So that's what I'm going to do now. I learned my lesson.

look at it this way.. the second time you do it.. your decision making speed will be that much faster.. :D
do more thumbnails.. I enjoy those. :P
ahaha, well hopefully you're right :)
I'll do more thumbnails for sure! Its what I do before colour keys, they're very helpful.
Sorry to hear about that.... I know how frustrating it is to lose work... I can't imagine a few weeks loss...
Don't give up on it though.... I am sure as you start into it the second time, it will come along much faster cause you have already worked out so much stuff in your head....
might even be better!!
have a good Christmas break.... maybe that will be enough of a break so you are ready to start into it again in the new year!
It's true what chromasketch said. Usually the 2nd time we do the work faster and better.
Sam, believe me, even though we always say: "lesson learned," we just learn it for a while.
Maybe if your computer keeps acting out, it's time to get a new one?
Thanks everybody :)
