"Deadline" is a short film created by Bang-yao Liu, a student at Savannah College of Art and Design. It uses the stop-motion technique to animate Post-Its on a wall. The film implies that sometimes when you have a deadline, your biggest obstacle is not the work itself, but time management and the pressure of a limited time frame.

Let me know what your working style is when you have a deadline on your hands. Oh, and also what do you think of the video?

i try to get a jump on my work, but then fool myself into thinking that the deadline is sooo far away that i usually end up procrastinating a bit in the end. i do my best work under pressure

I try to think I would finish before the deadline, I would NEVER ask for an extension, and no doubt sometimes I would procrastinate. Probably it would depend on what I had to do and if I enjoyed it.

The video was awesome, I would not have the patience to do that kind of animation. I would scan 4 different color post-its and animate them in Photoshop and Final Cut pro. Then I would mask the actor into the scene.

I generally work with the most complex or difficult aspect of the project first. Once resolved or completed, the remaining work can be done almost leisurely.
