Project 2: Reflection

Reflection:


At first, I do not know anything about animation at all. It was when I started to do those lab exercises on Olive, which really helped a lot as they are step-by-step videos, then I understand what animation was about. After doing those lab exercises, it makes me want to learn more about animation.

I would say that my animation is quite good though there are rooms for improvements. I did not expect that my animation will be a success because what I initially thought was an animation video with lots of errors, and I once thought that even with those errors, I intend to submit just like that. I did not expect my animation to be that long either (1100 frames = approximately 46 seconds). But I guess two of the reasons why I do not want to hand in a sloppy work are - I want to move on to Year 2 and do not want to retake and I do not want to waste my teacher's effort in teaching so hard.

I feel that Mr Ken Loh is one of the teachers I have seen being so dedicated to his students and enjoying his job so much. Sometimes during midnight, when you email or post comment on the facebook wall, he replies quite fast and this is what most of us want to, so that we can move on with our work quickly. Even on Chinese New Year's Eve he is also busy replying emails and comments. He is indeed one good teacher, who never gives up on his students, even on lazy students.

Overall, I think my animation for this project 2 is very complicated but it is still manageable. If I have more time to do my animation, of course I will try to do a better one than this.
