How does that reflect on the deadline you've been given? You need more time?
*I think it reflects his time because be won't be able to animate in weekends (Saturday & Sunday) which are the days that are usually being used by the animators to animate within. He will also won't be able to animate (I guess…) by next week because of his mid-term exams which would affect his time for making the weekly.
So it's going to make him inactive (not for too long as what I think it is) and/or won't be able to animate by a whole week.
*In my opinion, it depends on how long he has already created. If it's already half way there, and the deadline's also half way there, then there's no reason of giving hik additional days to animate considering that he's fast when it comes to animating. But if he's just 40% and below in progress, thrn I think you could give him some more time.
Those statements above were just opinionated sentences so don't immediately listen to what I've just wrote, Jazzon xD. I got bored so I just responded to what you said. I hope I didn't bother you. >.> <.<
