Chapter Nine - Reflection and Self Assessments

Module One - Character Design 

In this module I had to design a character and create a script to go with said character. I used a mixes of hand drawn and digital skills to create my character. I build up my character by creating a full back story and experimenting with visuals on how my character could look. As a final piece I had to create a character board showing a turn a round of my character, dynamic poses, expression and back story. 

The project went okay and i'm happy with the out come above even those it may be a bit simple. 

My strengths for this module are -

• Sticking to my targets and time plan
• problem solving in this module

My weaknesses for this module are -

• not developing character to the fullest 
• not experimenting enough in creating my character

Module Two - Alternative Techniques

In this module I had to look at and experiment with alternative techniques for our character that I created in the last module. I made a making of guide to help me remember everything I learnt on this module. Also as part of this module we had to reflection and self-analysis for the last module (character design). I looked at 3D modeling and found many problems some I fixed others I couldn't. I used the software, Cinema 4D. 

I'm not very happy with how is module turned out and that I couldn't created a 10 second animation within the time frame. 

My strengths for this module are - 

• experimentation with ideas
• My Organization

My weaknesses for this module are -

• Spelling and grammar
• Lack of confidence with my work and my own ability

  

Oh and targets for next week!

• Finish storyboard
• gathering assets for animation
• Start to draw up the 2D part of my animation
