Development
Over christmas I finished the entirety of the animating in regards to colouring and tuning any pieces I thought weren’t moving as well. I also composited all of the different layers that I had developed previously into layered backgrounds which I then added masks, lighting, blur and colour corrector in order to create my desired visual outcome. This is also includes smaller parts of animation such as the clouds moving and figuring out how and where to add lighting and shadow, again an area that I am not used to or have ever focused on before. Having finished my fable with the sound design re added due to the choice to pre compose seperate scenes and then adding them altogether, I then created my Design Document and Development Show Reel.
Strengths
I think my strengths this week have been mainly getting everything finished and rendered ready for hand in, regardless of areas that I would want to rework on I am happy with the overall finish and the skills that I have put into use this week especially on a software like After Effects which at first was very Alien to me.
Areas for Development
As I will state in my evaluation there are certain areas that I think needed more time and work on them in regards to movement, as well as my showreel maybe could have the timing a little more smooth than what it is. These are things I will take into consideration next term. Something else I would like to address is that I am aware that unlike the animatic the gasp in the final version is slightly out of time. This is incredibly annoying and I didn’t notice it the first few times, but I am now very aware of this and is something in the future as I will state in my evaluation that I would like to continue working on.
