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.

One key thing I did learn from primary research questionnaires was that people like dynamic
sounds. For example, one person said he liked the said effect from batman the animated
series when batman punches. I decide to have dynamic sound effects in my animation

What did you use from your
research that helped you?
What did you discard and why?
I also learned from the results of my questionnaires about animations that make people
happy that often it’s animations that they would watch during childhood. A reason for this
could be sentimentality of things from their childhood and when. This may not seem relevant,
but this made me think back to my own childhood. I thought about animation more basic
animations with the simpler plots. This help give inspiration to what my animations would
look like.
I discard a lot of primary audio example, I didn’t find many examples to be irrelevant to the
animation. I didn’t find any of secondary research I conduct to be useful, expect to go for a
more basic design for my sun.

What else would it have been I think I were to conduct my primary research again, I would variety tried asked a larger poll

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.

I believe that my lip syncs especial my sun’s is as good any professional basic animation. The
frames of the suns mouth starts at right and ends. I’m especial proud of the lip sync of the
dialogue of “Alight, I’m the sun”. My reason being so proud is part where mouth opens and
closes for some frames and opens again. The fact sun mouth for a breath period sun isn’t
talking helps give an extra bit realism to it. If suns were mouth open for entire length of
dialogue sequence it would have looked sloppy. In the end it looks like very crisp sequence.

A practical skill I could improve is lighting’s effect on color. I nether intended to have that

This is about the audio skills you learnt each week. Feel free to go back over the Animation Teams channel if it helps
