Animation evaluation/reflection questions

For this task, take your time and think about your experiences of this assignment.
You must answer ALL of these in order to pass this section.
Your answers should be at least 2-3 lines long for each question in order to pass.

Task 1/3: Reflect on your own research. (U2 3:3.2)

This is about the three worksheets you did as well as anything you have added to your production blog by week, such
as learning about Phonemes, facial structure or anything else you feel is relevant.

I used research to help me find out how I should draw my characters as I

What did you use from your
research that helped you?
What did you discard and why?
What else would it have been
more useful to know from your
research if you did it again?
wanted to use an ancient greek style. I simply searched 'Ancient Greece' on
google to help me do this.
I discarded the idea of making my animation about kids listening to their
teacher reading a book as this would've not had much depth and also would
take ages to draw, making it difficult for me to finish it in the deadline.
It would have been useful to know that you can do more specific searches on
gogle using the bar on the top that lets you filter through into different
categories.

How would you find this out I would use secondary research as I would've asked my peers for this
(P/S/Q/Q)?* information.
*primary/secondary/qualitative/quantitative

Task 2/3: Reflect on your own design, practical skills and build. (U2 3:3.2)
This is about the practical skills you learnt each week. Feel free to go back over the Animation Teams channel if it
helps you remember. Answer each question, including any relevant screen grabs.

What did you use from your

practical skills lessons that helped
you?
What did you discard and why?
In my practical lessons I learned how to lip sync and motion tween a subject.
I applied this and used these in my animation.
I discarded the Idea of adding shadows to everything because this would
have been far too time consuming and would make it extremely difficult to
finish the work by the deadline.

What would you now include and If I had longer to finish my animation I would include shadows because this
why? would improve the art style and realistic look.
What practical skills would you
like to revisit if you did it again?
Are there any new ones you think
would be useful for this project?
How does your final animation
compare to professional
examples? Give at least one
positive and one thing you would
focus on improving.
Task 3/3: Reflect on your audio ideas and work. (U5 3:3.1)
This is about the audio skills you learnt each week. Feel free to go back over the Animation Teams channel if it helps
you remember. Answer each question, including any relevant screen grabs.
What did you use from your
audio skills lessons that helped
you?
What did you discard and why?
What would you now include and
why?
What audio skills would you like
to revisit if you did it again?
Are there any new ones you think
would be useful for this project?
How does your final audio
compare to professional
examples? Give at least one
positive and one thing you would
focus on improving.
If I were to revisit, I would certainly go over masking as I feel If I were to try it
again I wouldn't have a clue how to do it.
I would like to be quicker at drawing so I can move on to animation faster.
Next time, I wil try a more simplistic style.
Compared to proffessional examples, my animation could be smoother. I
could include more breakdowns in my animation making it look smoother.
However, my animation was good compared to professional examples
because I had great camera movement, similarly to them.
I learned how to lip sync from these lessons which was certainly helpful
because I used it for the majority of my animation.
I discarded the idea of having a cheering crowd as this would've required
multiple people to record, involving lots of time and organisation.
I would include some ambient outdoor noise to make the animation less
silent.
I would like to revisit timing with my audio as I feel some of my audio clips
are slightly out of sync with the animation.
I think I would like to learn how to make my audio fade in and out to make it
seem more fitting for the animation.
I think my audio was not great compared to proffessional examples due to
the timing. However, the sound effects were fitting, similar to proffessional
examples.
