OUAN406 - Weekly Journal - Week 9.


Week 9

The final week. This week I did a few touch ups and worked on my blog. But due to having finished the animations them self's I was able to organize my files ready for the hand in on the Thursday.
I found this project to be an interesting one, as it pushed me to do work in styles that normally I wouldn't do. I also found that I did enjoy adapting my style, even if it was rather difficult to begin with.

This project I found to be rather interesting, I wanted to do something that would push me out of my comfort zone, which it did. Usually I favour drawing characters or creating characters that move, therefor creating minimalist backgrounds with natural environments was somewhat of a challenge for me. I decided that doing this would be rather refreshing for me, as it would be something new and something that wasn’t my usual forte.
I did enjoy working in a team, at first we did lack in communication but quickly turned that around and began working together much more so that we could have consistent animations. At first I was a little apprehensive when it came to working in a team, as I am very fussy when it comes to my artwork, as are most artists, which is why I was contemplating working alone. But I felt that working in a team would be good for me and it would be a good glimpse into how industries work with one another. It was something that was difficult to get my head around at first but with time it was easier and am happy with the outcome.
I’m very pleased with the time management of this project, in past projects I found that I wasn’t very good at keeping up on my work load, but during this project I found that I was able to keep on track of my work. This I felt was really an achievement as for I’ve not been able to do this in past assignments.
I do feel though that my enthusiasm for this work was lacking, which didn’t help with my creative process, I want to focus on improving my want to create work, during the next coming week I plan to set myself a challenge to improve me drawings, and capability to hit what I wanted to achieve. I do feel that I didn’t create these animations to the standard I am capable of making, and am disappointed with myself. For future projects I intend to work harder as I want to create the animations to a higher slandered.
During this project I had some family matters to attended to, which meant that I couldn’t do a lot of my work during the first few weeks of the project. I did manage to jump back into the work later so that I could keep up on the amount of work I should have done, but this did set me back a few weeks at the beginning of the project.

Files are something I’m not good at. I find that I am able to organise the files well, it is just being able to correctly render videos and saving in the correct file types. In the future I strive to learn how to do this correctly as filing and saving has been a problem for me, and I do not wish for this to happen to me again, as it is something that is difficult to resolve.
