final trailer and evaluation


This is my final animation



After the presentation my feedback was mainly to get more organised because if it were a professional presentation I wouldn't get paid .The reason for this is that when I tried to open my trailer in after effects it didn't have the required files , the only form of ideas generation that was there was a mood board.    
I could have improved my presentation by adding more content to the animations such as : my mind map, my storyboard , experimentation ,  researching artists , show more inspiration
The final trailer wasn't what I had originally wanted it to look like I wanted to animate a fight between 4 gods however I didn't have the time to produce this. If I had more time I would draw the gods and draw all of them in and make them fight.

To make this happen I should have made a time-scale if I had made one I would have been able to create the story I original wanted to make.

some things that went well with this unit are that I was able to add sound correctly in times , I was able to adjust to realizing my lack of time to be able to complete my original animation idea some things that went well are That I produced an animation with having to change the idea so late.

in the end my animation was done using after affects and I used the key frames and timers to create my animation I had experimented in using the puppet pin tool for my animation and it didn't work due to the fact that the image kept getting distorted  and ruining to image so I had to undo the puppet pin and use key frames and position

I disliked that I hadn't experiment that much on the frame by frame or rotoscoping however I know that if I experimented on the rotoscope for too long it would take more time out of the main animation

frame by frame

what is frame by frame ? Frame by frame is a form of animation that uses key frames to tell a story or animate a scene this is done by drawing the scene that you need and then change the next frame to be able to show the change.
the advantages are : gets fast movement  looks good  and  a simple way to add to the animation 

the disadvantages : may get distorted easily , takes a while to do and sometimes can't get the movement to look right  

this is my frame by frame animation it is very short but it was mainly an experimenting in different techniques. this one was created by drawing the dark alley and then onion skinning to be able to erase some movement and draw in the next motion
