My final Animation for this brief was one which I really enjoyed, and considering the fact I didn't use live footage for reference has made me that little bit more proud of it. Even though it is very basic in the method, and it isn't overly edited I am glad with the representation of the movements I have shown. The main reference I was using was getting up and dancing around myself countless times to figure out what leg goes where and the positioning of the arms etc.
My aim for this animation was to express movement, but in a slightly exaggerated way, using a character design of my own.
How Would I Improve?
If we are allowed, I would like to add some audio to it before the final exhibition. I would like to add some vocal sounds, as well as the sounds of the dancer's feet coming into contact with the ground, as well as the sound of the legs gradually breaking.
For my end of year presentation, I decided to keep the amount of writing on the screen to a minimal because I really didn't want to bore people! So I produced some guide lines of what to talk about for specific slides. This presentation is one which I am actually looking forward to showing, because I think it will be a great opportunity to explain not only what I feel I have succeeded with, but also why I have struggled a lot this year!
