Reflective Statement: Collaboration

This project was interesting, as its our only group project in the course. However as this is a reflective statement I will be righting about my personal struggles with the Project and not talking about how the group aspect of the project effected me.

I think I found the work reasonable and enjoyed most of the work I was doing. I engaged well with preproduction helping with ideation and righting, finishing my work in that department with he animatics. I feel like our project could have been improved if we thought thought about our ideas more and thought about the limitations of the group before coming up with the ideas. Thinking of an animation that didn't require speech or spoken exposition.

In production I felt like I did well and initially thought the intention of the sets would come across. however seemingly its intentional appearance didn't work so if I where to do it again I would make the sets obvious in there intentions. This wasn't a problem in many of our conversations however it came up when new eyes saw the animation it came to light. Moving forward I will show my animations to people out of the loop more to get fresh impressions of my work.

overall even though it was a stressful project, I'm happy its done and have learnt some stuff from the process.

Major Editing

Major Editing The process of editing the clips together was simple, as the timing wasn't overly important for comedic or dramatic purposes. The editing was a chance to push the found footage aesthetic while organising them in some sort of order, overall the visual and audios where finalised and set up ready to be presented.

Major Creature 9 Reflection

Major Creature 9 Reflection Reflection: Working on Creature 9 was the fastest and easiest creature to make. After many attempts of trial an improvement, I have ended with a pipeline for the creation that doesn't run into any problems. Even so this creature was the easiest as I didn't need to add extra details to me normal maps through Zbrush because of the distance and setting of seeing this creature. After 4 successful creature rigs I am know confident in my ability to create characters and creatures for 3D. This is a subject I was unsure about for a long time and as such approached with apprehension and respect to the difficulty. I Think this was a good thing in the end as my research of detailed approach to the process made me gaining confidence a slow and steady process ending with confidence in my ability.
