Budget Update

So I've been considering all of the questions posed by the snow day assignment and I think I have most of the answers now. The one that eluded me the most was the budget. Since I am animating there aren't really any travel costs associated with my production. The biggest thing will be paying the subscription fee for Adobe Creative Cloud. Since the edit lab is so busy this semester I can't rely on being able to get in there at night unless I want to become nocturnal or something. It's a little upsetting because you can't just buy the programs anymore but whatever I guess. my simple budget is this:

Adobe CC: $200 - for 1 year subscription
ToonBoom - $60
Plugin allowance - $50
Music Allowance - $100

I am not trying to avoid spending money on necessities I just don't see money as the prime concern. I am more focused on time because I know I have a habit of losing track of it for projects. I have a schedule set up in google calenders but the major dates are:

Feb. 26 - Have list items/props (Plane, Car, Etc.) made up in Photoshop
Mar. 12 - Keyframe Animation done
Mar. 26 - Hand-drawn animation done
Apr. 12 - Finalize all animation
Apr. 23 - Post-production effects + Rough sound done
May 7 - final edit done

As far as my target audience goes, I think bucket lists are a universal subject. Everyone has things they want to do before they die even if they're 25. I would like to appeal to basically anyone and everyone. I think there are certain list items such as riding a t-rex and flying a jetpack which would relate to a younger, more imaginative audience whereas other items such as riding in a hot air balloon might reach a different age group.
