so today is the final day and after the screening, it will be all over!!!!! so i finish complilling and everything this morning and i felt good! so now im left with this last post and there P3 will be completed.
this 2 month kind of a toture, having 2 other modules especially MAYA which takes up alot of my time. i learned alot from this trial run of FYP. like time, planning, self management, having a good rest and sleep. i would say that my planning for P3 is really bad. at the last week i am still editing my story line and it is kind of messy up. so i think planning and finalise the story early and help myself to save time from doing scenes that i will not included in the animation. i did alot of redundant scenes and wasted alot of time on it.
well overall my animation work is ok. just story wise not really good and the character is not consistence. i know that in term of story telling, my skill is not really good. somehow what i had in mind did not really reflect on the paper. maybe because i feel that i cant really draw well so i shouldn't think of different camera angle and various position of the character. it is like finding my own trouble. so i tend to keep my character and stuff simple. well simple is not really bad like there's the saying 'simple and sweet'. also, i had trouble choosing the correct colour. like example for a grass, i choose a green colour but others will comment that it is too saturated and stuff. sometimes i do wonder how they can choose the correct colour or the colour that will fit in to the scene. like there is a wide range of green, light green dark green but how actually can they find the correct green. for time management, i think it is up to one self to manage. it is own time own target and the time span we have to focus on doing the animation is really short. i get distracted really easily and side track. i realise that i cant really work at home because of the television and the bed. so this time round, i made an effort to go back to school on saturday to work. though sometimes we will start to chi chat, but at least more work can be done in school compare to home. for me, pre-production took quite a long time. like almost a month to actually sort of decide on the story idea and stuff. maybe because i wasnt really sure what i actually wanted and i want to keep the story short but yet the story will turn boring or even that the audience dont understand it. i was having the mindset that i should keep the story short, cut out as many scenes as possible to reduce the time i have to draw and animate. and the chain effect was that the audience dont understand the story and the whole gist of the story is missing. something that i really learned during project 3. sometimes short doesnt mean good and long story also doesnt mean perfect. so i have to make sure that i keep the story flow well, in terms of the timing, make sure it is not too long winded and too short that no body understand.
good bye.
