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.

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

One thing I want to know how to do is, in an animation when a light moves quickly across the
screen there is a colour trail of the light that follows for a short period of time and I want to
know how to do that.
I think that one positive about my animation is the well-timed lip syncing I have done,
however I need to improve on my character movements, they were very choppy and basic I
want them to get smoother and more complex.

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