Overall i feel like my animation was successful but my blog lacked a bit more in depth information on planing and developing which i would point towards my poor planing and lack of attendance to communicate with tutors and fellow students.
I mostly enjoyed the animating and a bit of the modelling because those are what i have been concentrating on during this term.
The least enjoyable parts which gave me a lot of hassle and trouble were lighting the scenes and texturing. some parts in the scene kept giving me trouble while trying to texture objects like the sofa so i decided to just leave it grey. Although it is not that bad when i exported the video and watched it back various times, I feel the couch being textured would make a big difference to the project and raise the production level. There is also a bit where the man is talking to the woman, and in that part of the animation i feel like i should of created a background to indicate to people who are watching my animation that the characters are in an outside scene.
When it came to my audio, i collaborated with Andy, everything was going smooth and to plan and i had a friend who was very good at cartoon voices and contacted him to do a few for my animation which he agreed but on the day before recording he contacted me and told me he could not make it which resulted in me having to use dialog from a film which ended up working fine. I feel it worked because the dialog was not a lot and very easy to animate.
I do feel after this project i will continue t grow and develop my animation and continue in a 3d animation path.
Apart from my personal situation, the whole year was great and i feel i have gained the basic knowledge and more to take on the industry and multi task when needed.
i would like to thank all my tutors over the years and fellow students who collaborated and helped in all projects from the first year to the third and i wish us all nothing but successful career's in the near future.
