Final Animation + Evaluation

This is my final animation. Unfortunately the sequence is too large to be uploaded to blogger, much like my other clips. I have tried to upload them to Youtube but it takes hours and eventually chrome crashes. 

Overall, I am happy with how my animation turned out. I am disappointed that I was not able to create the intial animation I had in mind, but hopefully in the future I will be able to create an animation of a similar style and format. I feel like the visual goals I made for myself were met, and I managed to create a textured and vibrant animation that also fits with the themes in the novel.

I feel like this is my weakest project so far because of the amount of technical issues that were involved, and also how my goals and aims weren't met. If I was to do this project again,  I would definitely invest in better equipment, such as a camera and better quality materials to ensure that I create the visuals correctly without any issues. I do feel disappointed in how I didn't get to experiment with new software as well. I also feel like my finished animation is not enough for the project. I would have like to of created a title sequence that had a lot more movement involved, but I feel as though the constant issues hindered my progress, and also because I wanted to simplify my animation down to fit with how title sequences look also made for a disappointing response.

I really enjoyed experimenting with different mediums and textures throughout my production stages. However, I feel like I didn't include a lot of documentation of these experimentations. I think that I should have blogged about each step that I took instead of blogging about the larger steps in my progress. I also need to get the hang of posting my blog posts in order.

I think that more research could have been done with the typography. Even though I am happy with the look of the text I created, I feel like I could have researched into typography further in order to create a more appealing text.  

Overall, I feel content with the animation that I created but I know I could have done better with various aspects of my animation.
