Also added my Titles and credits within I movie, had to then export the edited animation into garageband to create the soundtrack.

Added soundtrack properly and trimmed it in garage band, found this easy, did this as it was suggested by tutor to edit the track properly.

This is the completed animation that I was tasked to create after handing my initial animation in it was apparent that there was a need for fine tuning if not an entire overhaul, So this video now shows all the suggested additions from the tutor including music credits, and editing in I movie, the soundtrack has also been shortened to fit the animations length.

Received the feedback on my animation from my peers in my class, The comment son the animation had a wide scope of views and each one was useful in helping me identify what needed to stay and what needed to be changed.

For some strange reason a minority of my peers seemed to like my music choice one such comment said "There was violence in the animation so the music suited it" I found this rather surprising as the music was something I added without much though and was only added to fill the necessary spot
On the same subject of music I think I'd change that in the future and probably will be doing that very soon I do find it amusing though that it was commented on in a non negative light.

Many people also seemed to enjoy nd appreciate the humorous side of the animation with at-least half the class commenting on it in a positive light, this is something that I must admit pleased me As receiving a positive attention for my sense of humor is always something you appreciate .

I tried to make my humor akin to the cut out animation that inspired it in he first place but my quality of animationwasnt up to the standard i wanted, compared to this of south park as you can see the animations very smoothe and the voices are comical this is what I like in animatiosn and sadly i wa sunable to reproduce that.

Also I think its healthy to look at another type of animation that is unique and interesting, I'd probably do somethign similar to this animation if i could do it again.
The reason I like this animation is thats its just rather inventive and just quirky, its fun to watch and the quality is amazing with the interaction between the animation and people looking great.

Following a surprising positive like that i must comment on the negatives my peers notice, one such negative remark was on my general lack of credits which was a required element of the animation, I must in this case full heartily agree with the criticism of my peers the animation needs the credits properly added to meet the correct standards.
Another negative comment voiced by a one Thomas Cassidy was that the animation was "Rushed and Childish" For the middle and ending I must lean to agree with the fact that he is correct that I rushed the production of the animation and this is clearly viewable however i feel it is rather a miracle that he has the gaul to accuse me or any production of mine to be childish due to the fact that he rarely exhibits the sophistication in behavior and mental processes of a 4 month old child.

Other negative comments were also submitted namely one was the actual quality of the image used to compile the animation some people felt that they wernt of a good standard and were sometimes not on the same angle as the previous so it give the animation a poor kind of effect .

I believe my animation ended up how it did because of my general lack of motivation for the entire project, nothing more needs to be said on those reasons I should have tried harder and produced a better animation by investing more time effort and organization.


Part 2 in evaluation to follow.

Evaluation of work

* Didn't like the sound track to the animation felt rushed

*Also didn't like the quality of the animation tis self i rushed it and its clearly viewable from it

*Highly enjoyed my 4 minutes of pure 90s wu-tang, should become a common feature in all animations hence forth?

*If i had time to improve the animation i would increase the length and back grounds of the animation firstly.
I would then increase the quality of the models themselves and increase the amount of photos take to create a more flowing smooth animation.
After this i would then change the soundtrack to a segmented group of tracks that would help reflect the mood

Soundtrack addaaaaageeeee

added sound to the finished animation had to settle for a quick mp3 file that was already on my m drive. wasnt pleased with it but hopefully will be able to change it at my own leisure now the animation is actually completed with a soundtrack

Aims for lesson 18/03/10

My aim for this lesson is to produce some cut out humans and vehicles for my animation, hopefully they will be along the lines of the south park cast
I will only need a limited amount of models as they can be reused over and over again
