Final Thoughts

After watching the film a couple of times the things which need to improve increasingly gets a bigger. Since today was the day of hand in, we have got the degree show to look forward to and and work towards, so i hope we can improve the glitched and certains bits of the film.

Honestly this project has had its ups and downs, like many other people's films have been having. However i do strongly think that what we as a group produced is visually a good film, it has some potetially to be better which, i mention again will look better for the degree show. I think this year for me has been quiet dissappointing, because i have struggled abit as a Director simply because it was all knew to me so the process of telling people what to do was quiet cool but scary. I think i also struggled with in the artist and technicall side simply because i am indeed very speacialise to character animation and my 3 folders will show that, however i do have the basic knowledge and understanding of all the other aspects which i have learnt through the creation of this film. I seem to learn a bit about compossiting which i find quiet interesting and fun to do, i also learnt some key skills which i will need to take into my working life, for example time management, i understand know how vitally it is important to have good time management because then i could have got more things done for this film. Also organisation, its importants to organise what needs to be done, i mean i have did some of this when it comes to my animating scenes, i made sure certain scenes where in such folders etc. However on a more possitve note, despite what ever grade i get, this has all been a learning curve which i will take on board what ever i do in the future, i have enjoyed working with my group even tho when times were tough we stood together and manage to make this nice film.

My animation skills i think has improved this term as i starting to think more about body movements, for example the tug of war scene, which i think personally is one of the best bits of the film, was an extreme challenge. I had to act out that scene with my sister in order to get the body movements right to por tray the struggle between the two characters. Depending what happens after the degree show and if i get any feedback from companies when sending my show reel out i may take up a character animation course if i can save enough money from a part time job.

Also from working on this projects i understands its essential to learn other aspects the pipeland for example rigging, this is something i will need to be able do and i will be working on during the summer holidays, as will be unemployed lol.

I would also like to take the oppertunity to thank everyone i know at ravensbourne who have helped throughout the three years. Its been a great experience which i will always remeber. But hopefully it wont be the last time i see everyone in out class.
