REFLECTION
Reflecting on my journey throughout this module was a interesting experience. I enjoyed the process of creating 2D animation which was something that is extremely new to and has allowed me to [ develop new skills and apply my knowledge in the exercises and projects given. Each project and exercise provided me with a new challenge and an opportunity to grow and get accustomed to 2D animation as a base to develop myself further in the future. Overall, this project was a useful learning experience for me to develop myself as a design student.
FEEDBACK
Project 2A
Week 8 - 18/11/2024
- Poses overall are fine only when character goes up, it should be higher.
- Applying drag to the ears; extended when going down, dropping slightly when going up
Week 11 - 02/12/2024
- preserving the volume of the character - "down"
- make the front part of the boot more visible
- refine quality of poses
Project 2B
Week 12 - 09/12/2024
- arms nearing ending is a bit jerky, try to position the frames in between till it goes down
- cape and ears is a bit stiff but body shape is good
Week 13 - 16/12/2024
- add a bit more frames at the end -> standing up position
