REVIEW

The assignment involved creating a set of animation type as if you were a 3D animator and freelance games designer, because of this we had to demonstrate our knowledge of the whole production process and to develop our small project preparing for higher education employment. The animation sequences I chose to do involved in character doing certain actions weather that being walking or fighting animations. I believe that the type of assignment I chose for myself was achievable but however I have not animated models for an extended amount so I knew that It would be best to aim to high in creating very complicated animations.This allowed me to complete my project rather effi ciently and therefore resulted in creating a consistent amount of work.

ASSIGNMENT

I believe that the quality could be improved slightly on all three animation sequences but overall I am quite pleased with the end results even though the assignment deadline was quite early.And seeing as I have not used Layout as much as I have of other programs the quality of the work is not to an excellent standard, however this does not mean I have not put as much eff ort as I could have done to the production of each animation sequence.If I were to do this again I would focus on perfecting the quality of my animating skills.

1.TECHNICAL QUALITY

I would say that my production skil ls have been rather consistent throughout the whole assignment however looking through each task I can see there could be room for improvement if I were to revisit this assignment. Although I believe that I have a large variety of production skil ls either being Layout animating, producing PowerPoint presentations, creating a production diary and schedule so its safe to say that my work isn't lacking in variety. These skil ls have developed as the project got into the later stages of development because I was more comfortable with the fl ow of producing animations.

2.PRODUCTION SKILLS

My original intentions for the type of animation sequences was to fully animate a medieval character fighting several enemies using a sword and shield and dodging diff erent attacks by arrows and other assortment of weapons, However given he short deadline and my lack of skill with animating I had bring down the creativity of the animations which were shortened down into small animation sequences which involved blocking and two diff erent attack sequences.Even though I had lower my standards a little of animating what I wanted I still believe that that sequences I did create were finish to a good enough standard seeing my average skills with animating.

3.ORIGINAL INTENTIONS

I think when going through each task and judging weather not I managed my time sensibly, I believe in this case I have because I have strictly kept to my schedule and made sure that there were no improvements that were needed to be made within my schedule, I have done this mainly so I kept up to speed with the assignment. Keeping on track with my time management it allowed me to effi ciently plan out each week on what I would be doing within that week and the following week.

4.TIME MANAGEMENT

Looking through the questionnaire that I created I mostly acquired relatively positive feedback from all three of my completed animation sequences, this allows me to ponder on what improvements I could make with the questionnaire which I think would be to aim it towards to a larger group of people and to make the questions abit more descriptive.However I believed that if I made the questions straight forward to answer I would get more feedback from my questionnaire.

5.TARGET AUDIENCE / FEEDBACK

The animation sequences can be found on my Blog page here is the link:http://3danimationlb.blogspot.co.uk/

I think going through all of the tasks I believe I have kept a consistent level of work within the tasks, this is where I went into great detail before hand with the research where I added annotation and imagery explaining how they would help me in the long term with the animating stages.So overall I believe that I have created a fair amount of animations with quite a lot of research to back up the creativity of my animations, I also believe that I have managed to keep work rate consistent throughout the whole assignment so I don’t see many issues with my work that would seriously need addressing.If I were to repeat this project again then I would follow rather close to what I have produced but maybe give myself abit more time to come up with more animation sequences or before hand I would make sure that I fully knew on how to design an animation that I wanted to create.
