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.

In my secondary research I found out about face expressions and built my animation around
them as well to make the animation sync up with what they are saying. I also took the

information to see what the audience is in to, so I made my animation very colorful and
bright so it catches the audiences eyes.
In the primary research someone mentioned anime and I wanted something different so it
stands out from all the different types out there.
What did you discard and why?
As well as I was going to make the cloud rain but I feel like it would be too distracting from
what is going on and the story.

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.

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
