Unit 3 Evaluation.

Evaluation

I am very pleased to have final finished my animation it felt as though it would never end at one point. Personally I thought the whole process worked well but I really like the way the waves ended up and pretty much everything else, I was very annoyed that one of artists did not let my use there sing in competitions. Though out the whole process I have learned how to use a mac computer as well as the software. I have learned so much during the process, to much to write about but the skill I know have on using After effect skills are better than my teachers . During the process I have used traditional materials to create my props and then I have animated them in Final Cut, After Effects and Anime Studios. My ideas developed once I learned how to use the programs such as After effects because I learned that you could add lighting and different camera angles which improved the over all animation.

I used the paper cut out animation technique for my animation but I animated it on the computer using after effects because I thought it be quicker and easier than to do it by hand.

My final work portrays the original storyboard very well as not much has changes, but what has is very similar to the original ideas. I have not deviate from the original storyboard because I liked it and it worked well. I got the ideas for my animation form listening to a song called 'typical time' by the view and doodling in my chemistry book.

The hardest part of creating my animation was the steep learning curve for after effects and when I had computer troubles and had to sett up all the programs again on a different computer. the easiest part was the fact that my main backgrounds that I used through out were made by chance.

To ensure that I have follow safe and professional practices i have done a risk assessments form and I have found out that I can use 10% of my artist song for education purposes, but I have also emailed these artist so that if i enter competition it would all be ok.
