Problems on its way again

As usual last steps of my projects are always the hardest ones, and it's always just before the deadline... my blue screen ideas do not work very well... and I have no idea what to do now? Clown looks absolutely fake and rather funny than scary... lighting is crap, so there are some marks on the background, so everyone will realise there was blue screen trick used. I spend many many hours doing that, and the only bits of motion text for now are simple text fading in and out... I wanted to go extra mile and do it really awsome, and now it's not even up to minimum standard. I am very tired and I wish it could be all over now, as every single minute after work I am working on this project. All those sleeples nights and early mornings for nothing. I missed most of tutorials due to some important personal problems, and trying to work out AE on my own now, and it's much harder than I expected.

All project took me a long time: planning, storyboarding, shoting little footages, editing, then creating text in AE, choosing and looking for soundtrack, then shoting bluescreen footages, trying edit them and so on. Final piece is something exactly different from what I wanted to create on the begining, but my ideas are always changing and developing, and somethimes some things are going wrong on the way as well. I was quite happy with it in general, but I wanted to create quite effective final scene with clown and some motion text moving across the screen, but just can't finish it up. Everything stopped working - my computer, my brain, lighting etc. Thinking of giving it up, as I dont think I will make it on time anyway. ...

That's just a little preview of what I got till now (just few first scenes)
