Finished Animation



This is my finished version!

EVALUATION - Reflection

Our creative media assignment this term was to create an animation and I feel I completed this successfully. As this was our second creative media task for the year and therefore our second experience of keeping a creative media documentarily journal, I felt more prepared. This time I decided to keep a blog instead of a paper journal. I found this worked better for me and I will keep a blog apposed to a paper journal next term because it can always be accessed. As long as you have a computer, you can’t forget it. It is easy to misplace or forget a paper journal but it is almost impossible to lose blog. This makes me much more comfortable.

I am extremely happy with my final result and I think I have done well this term. I found animationish and animation much harder than photoshop. Through this process, I have become much more comfortable using a blog and animationish. At the beginning of the unit, I expected animation to be much more complicated than it was. It is still very hard, but there are4 not as many tools and the process isn’t as complicated as it was for photoshop in my opinion.

I have learnt how to use animationish and feel comfortable using it in future. I learnt how to duplicate frames and change them, use the truck tool and key frames as well as learning about how to use the bamboo tablets. I haven’t really learnt any tricks, but I have learnt how to operate the program successfully.

The development and planning of my character helped me when writing my personality profiles. Little things, such as how he has a limp and walks oddly have been included to add credit. My inspiration didn’t help me very much as what I decided to do changed dramatically throughout the assignment.

For the last assignment, I received straight A’s. I was very nervous going into this as I would really like to maintain this average and as my animation will suffer from my lack of drawing skills, I knew this meant I had to work really hard on my blog, ensuring it is maintained and accurate.

I didn’t have any problems that I couldn’t work through and I am happy with my finished animation and I think I have produced the best work possible. Next time, when Miranda and I team up to create and i-stop motion piece, I am going to be much better at the time line prediction. I think I bit off more than I could chew with this assignment, although I think I dealt with this well.

I am convinced that this movie, named ‘BOBS BIG DAY’ would be a great idea for a children’s film. Although this is simply a thirty second trailer, I am convinced that Pixur will love this animation as much as I do. This film is ideal for young children as it is a fun idea. Bob is easy to relate to and is just your typical guy. Children around the world will love this film as it’s just a great movie with a great vibe.

My Changed StoryBoard

At the beginning of the term when I started my animation, I over estimated the amoount I would be able to complete as I had no expereince with the program and animation. As I progressed, I realised that my original story board actually becoming a finished animation was slim to none. I failed to complete what my story board had planned out as I just didn't have enough time. I am happy with what I completed but I didn't get to complete what I originally set for myself on my storyboard.
