2 minute film: 250 word reflection
I’ve learnt a lot throughout the process of making this film, both from this assignment and the surrounding ones we had throughout the process. I went from using Procreate and Rough animator on the iPad to anime to using TV Paint and toon boom harmony, specifically TV Paint for the two-minute film. the difference in the process of making my films is huge and creating animations is so much quicker than last year.
I wasn’t able to completely finish my film for the hand in which I'm quite regretful about, as I changed my film narrative way too late, giving me barely any time to work on the actual film. I also had a moment where I felt stuck in my animating and illustrating skills, remaking backgrounds and changing the animatic over and over, making me lose around a week or two which could’ve been spent actually creating my film. the only good thing from this I could gather is that I’ve learnt what not to do next year.
The audio for the two-minute film is something I made, which I also learnt quickly was a bad idea, as I have no earlier knowledge in film score making. The sound effects are also lacking, but that is mostly because of a shortage of time. I will refine the audio and film for the end of year show in June.
ultimately, the 2-minute film made me realize where I was lacking in my knowledge and skills, so I can practice these specific things during the summer before my third year.
