As long as you display genuine effort in your movie and the ability to improve, we'll be fine with it.

Try using FUCKLOADS of layers.

The thing about discipline, is not doing a small number of significantly large things well, it is doing a large number of totally insignificant things that nobody else sees, everytime without compromise.

In other words, while using fuckloads of layers is a masterful, disciplined technique, it doesn't matter, because it carries no meaning and won't be noticed anyway. Still with the small number of significant things.
