After Effects #1

Reflective Statement

During this project I feel was more engaged in the creative process. I found the character design element interesting which I feel is reflected in my final outcomes. I believe that I have fulfilled the brief, creating a readable story through storyboards and animatics. I think that my characters are developed and there is a clear narrative. I think that if I could redo this project I would create storyboards that are more visually dynamic as well as explaining camera choice and movement. As the pieces limit was 2 two minutes, I found it difficult to include some of the more interesting scenes that i had originally planned. 

I think that my pre-viz could defiantly be altered. The pre-viz was not finished as I underestimated the time it would take to complete, so I think that my personal time management still needs some improvement. However, my digital paining has improved throughout this project. Overall, I believe that this project went well and I will work on the things that did not go to plan in the next project.

Animation - using stills from life drawing

I think that this animation could use some work. It is too jumpy, a problem that could be solved by adding more frames.
