Reflection:

Overall I don’t think I struggled too much with this submission! Due to home issues in the first few weeks I missed a lot of classes but tried my best to follow along at home. I am very rusty on body mechanics and I look forward to progressing with this as I enjoyed doing it in both 2D and 3D! With not having a screened graphics tablet I struggled far too much to try and draw cleanly in Toon boom and I am upset that I couldn’t have completed my work for my submission in it. I have been testing the water with the software (quite messily) but I understand the basic functions and how to use it so I’m not too annoyed and hope to upgrade my home graphics set up so in future I will be able to use Toon Boom without any issues.

Using Blender to animate is always filled with issues but this time around I surprisingly didn’t come across too many! I didn’t enjoy working with the Rain rig as I felt very restricted in the movements I could make her do, which is why I chose to source a Woody rig and have a go at animating a more cartoon-like movement. I really enjoyed playing around with his model and will most certainly be keeping this for future projects whether that be personal or for university!
