Character and Narrative: Final Animation

Character and Narrative

Final Animation

• This week:
• We finalised the animation, adding the final textures and credits!
• Final Evaluation of the Animation:
• What Went Well:
• The backgrounds and character is relatively consistent, despite the issues with sticking with the style, at first! I think that the team worked well together in sticking with the schedule and all giving input into the final animation.
• The aesthetic and style of the overall animation reflects what we wanted to go for with it, that being aimed at children ages 7-12 years and the art style reflects this. Another addition of the style was to make it look almost like a storybook, with the sketchy line-work and bright, painted backgrounds.
• What Could Be Improved:
• There is a few inconsistencies with the smoothness of the animation and quality, which could've been improved by having more work on inbetweening the initial inbetweens. I think that the inbetweening and animation roles could have been divided and shared better to overcome this issue.
• There are some inconsistencies with designs, also, which can be improved with further practise in adapting to others' styles and practising drawing the character more, with the model sheet.
• Next project:
• I would like to focus on my 2D Animation work, keyframing and inbetweening and also provide more concept work!
