Unit 32 Animation Evaluation

The end product is similar to my original intentions however I am not happy with my final result; I didn’t manage my time correctly and had to rush everything towards the end, because I rushed my animation it turned out very poor and short. The animation is appropriate to my intended audience though I doubt they will enjoy it. If I was to improve my animation I would concentrate on improving the FPS, my current animation has a very poor fps making it obvious they are just images put together and not really creating the illusion of movement. To try and improve my current animation I edited it in Windows movie maker, giving it an old movie sort of effect, this helped its look but not its performance. What I learned from creating my animation is to manage my time better and not rush everything towards the end of the project, I did manage to meet the deadline but not with the quality of animation I intended to hand in, I believe I could have done a lot better. If I were to start over and create it all over again I would manage my time more correctly, not rush when creating the animation so it runs more smoothly and has a better fps rate. I’m happy with the images I gathered for the animation such as the falling man and aeroplane, I’m also happy with the music I put onto the video. After creating my questionnaire and showing my animation to the rest of the class, the feedback I gathered was poor as I expected. Many criticisms I received was the quality of some of the images used and that the fps was pretty bad, they did however find the music to be in good quality. I will take this feedback into consideration when I create my next animation.

Here is my animation:
