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.

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?
I used things like Pintrest to give me a rough idea of what I wanted to do for the animation
since I didn’t know where to start with it, I also asked my friends around me for their opinions
on what I should do for it which helped just as much.
There were some ideas from my Secondary Research I was thinking about doing but once I
knew that it probably would’ve taken me longer to complete the actual animation itself. For
example, most of them were actually 3D animation and some 2D animations were too
detailed for me (personally) to complete.
I know that giving it a little more detail doesn’t completely effect it as long as you plan it out
right the first time and also that it’s always best to expand primary research past your
classmates.

How would you find this out I would do this through Primary Research by using things like Microsoft Forms then using
(P/S/Q/Q)?* some Qualitative to make a good decision about what to do about the animation.

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.

Are there any new ones you think I can’t really think of anything else that’s completely new other than maybe learning how to

How does your final animation

Compared to a professional animation, one good thing about it is how the sun and cloud

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