Finally, its handed in and completed!! This 30 second animation self portrait has really pushed the comfort zone around.
The hardest part of this brief was the topic, focussing on myself. I didnt want to keep to the superfical but then found it difficult to communicate the "sum of my experiences, both good and bad" concept.
The two parts I would change would be the text mask and the conflict scene. Instead of using one font I would use several which related to the words and I wouldnt have used the space invaders idea for the conflict. Instead I would have had more stills of myself pushing, punching, hugging etc.
I did like the clean look of the animation and I believed the audio matched. I used my time wisely and was able to meet the original deadline.
For best practice I would now look at the story boards and final sketchbook while in development with an eye for the final presentation.
I didnt find any of the software hard to learn (FCP) and was able to use Photoshop to do everything I wanted to.
