The progression of my animation video in the animation studio module was stressful during many enjoyments. Stressing over getting my work complete in its best version and showing my ideas clearly and successfully was something I worried a lot about. Enjoyment in expressing my thoughts and being able to freely experiment with different activities to help me to perform better in my work. Also, learning lots of new knowledge about 2D animation that I didn’t know about was amazing. During this project, I think what I’ve done very well was sharing my ideas when developing the world, and our group worked very well together because we didn’t argue about having different ideas; we all just went with the flow. Every new good idea was developed, and we were always trying to fit them together. and giving each other suggestions on the individual section. I think the part that didn’t work best was on my own, completing the animation, because I was having trouble with having too many scenes that were moving too fast, which I’m still not sure if I’ve fixed the problem until the last stage. I was also having problems with the proportion and the shape of the character in the frame that are right after each other to perform a smooth transition between scenes. Working as a team, I’ve learnt that it’s very important to have connections with each other, which I feel like is something our team needed to make improvements on. If I were to start the module over again, what I would do differently is play around with the angles of the scenes more and give more tries before getting to the final stage of the animation video. This is something I needed to improve on as well, trying and exploring more variety of style and ideas instead of just picking one and staying with it the whole time throughout. Before completing the animation, I should draw more storyboards until I know that the shape and proportion are right and practice on drawing it. Also, I need to sketch out more different drawings instead of staying on one. design and keep changing the details based on the first draft. I should have more drafts of practice for my animation. If I were to change something in this project, one of the things I could do is change the colour palette, maybe have the background lighter and make my characters in more vivid colours. Another thing I would change is the story of my animation; it could be more interesting and more engaging. The last thing I would change is the setting of our world because at the very beginning of the development of the world, I pick my idea of Barbie, but we kind of just kept the idea of dolls, but I wanted the world to be brighter and wonderfully rather than a horror haunted house world. Even though I would like to change the world setting to a more positive and girly setting, I still really liked the design that I’ve created for my room doll. I got inspirations. from the Joker, he’s something I will create a personal story just for him.
