Overall I feel that my animation skills in general have improved and this specialism has defiantly strengthened my passion than killed it. Career wise I will prefer animating and pre production than the clean up and colouring but I understand it is important to know these skills not just for my final film but for the industry. I must also try not to rely heavily on my live action reference otherwise the animation can seem a bit plain and dull as no exaggeration is added. Inspiration wise I just look at anything generally goofy, funny faces and look at various artists and Jim Carrey for inspiration. This last year I have come across and American animation production company ‘Headless production’ and love the work they produce and the style they take. I do think I do need to explore other styles and just need to get out of my comfort zone. I defiantly need to develop my cleaning and colouring skills, adding textures for colour looks amusing to me and I did want to apply that to my man’s suit on the bus animation but ran out of time. I also need to figure out what I’m doing wrong with exporting videos on premiere, I can’t afford to have bad quality for my final film. I feel quite happy with my four pieces but know I still have a lot to improve on and need to develop my colour and clean up along with my time management skills.
