and facilities

Using an Apple Mac- 8/10

Using Audition- 0/10

Using a digital video camera- 5/10

Using a Wacom Cintiq drawing tablet- 10/10

Using a digital SLR camera- 5/10

Using the studio- 6/10

Which of these do you think will be most important for your progress on Year 2 and
beyond?

Out of the options I would definitely say the most important options for my progress for year 2
and beyond would be using animate, using premier and using the drawing tablets as these three
work extremely well together (premier and animate especially) as they are the base level that’s
required to make a simple animation. In the future as my skills develop I will also use after
effects to add a complete new level of detail to my animations but so far I have found animate
and premier to be extremely useful in animating.
