FMP: Task 6 - Evaluation
I think in this project I did a better job at sticking to the timetable I had prepared and I was also able to keep up with my plan to do a mini-review of my progress so far in each week, with each of the mini-reviews being a good amount (a paragraph or two). However I did not upload as much WIPs as I would have liked, and I took time to upload some of them, uploading them a couple of days after I should have.
To be able to stick to the timetable, and to be able to have a finished coloured animation, I was not able to animate as much as I wanted to. I had aimed for at least 10 seconds of animation, however I underestimated how long syncing animation to music would take and so was only able to create 5.5 seconds.
As I did not want my animation to be the character just standing still while singing, so I wanted to involve some movement and follow through animation. However, due to having to animate this and the mouth in sync with the song, I was not able to make that many frames for the characters movement, so the animation is not as smooth as I would have liked for it to be.
If I were to make changes to this animation, I would want to add more frames to make the animation a better quality. I would maybe also make the animation longer, lasting for the whole chorus of the song. Another addition I would make is a background; I did not have time to think of and create one for this animation before the deadline.
Another issue with my animation is that where the frames were drawn in Photoshop and imported into Flash, the quality of the images wasn't very good, for example the mouth pieces are blocky and have blue outlines. I did not know how to fix this and also did not have time to do so before the deadline, but it would be nice to find a way to solve this issue.
