3D Animation Evaluation

For my 3D animation i created a an advertisement  advertising "Anti bullying week" and I made a clay animation. I created two butterflies they were twin like, and i also created another butterfly that looked different to the other butterflies. This one wanted to be like everyone else, even though he looked different he was still a butterfly but the twin like butterflies fly away and don't want anything to do with him. In the end a new butterflies towards him and he smiles and flies away with the butterfly and makes friends. The 3D animation was meant to be 15 - 30 seconds long and my animation was 24 seconds long so i reached and went over the minium time scale for my animation.

I think that my animation could be improved but i feel did the animation well, however i could of made the animation longer and less jumpy. The use of colour could of been used better on the background of my animation for example, when i put clouds into my animation some of the clouds got clay on them and this made them look dirty which made the animation looked of rushed. The animation lacked sound effects and i only added and instrumental song into it; I could of changed these things but i had a deadline to reach and i was already behind with creating both of my animations.

However what i liked about my animation was the bit where the butterfly started crying, i thought that this was really effective  and created and by doing this it made my animation looked so much better.  The animation included a zoom when the butterfly was crying and eventually zoomed to see that he was happy again. I also made the clouds move about a centimetre every time i took a shot, the clouds looked like they were moving across the sky throughout my animation, which made the butterflies were actually flying in the sky and also to show time passing by. 

In summary, I feel i could of improved my animation by the choice of sound effects i used in final cut  and the colours and materials I used whilst creating it; However overall I made a good animation, I thought clearly about my advertisment and how i was going to advertise it. My animation included zooms and i thought about how my advertisment was going to be presented. It took a long time to create as to make an animation look realistic it does take a long period of time. For example one part that made my animation looked effective was that i made the butterflies eyes move; wherever one butterfly was going the main butterfly was following it. Overall i think that my advertisment did meet all its requirements including: length of animation, materials, creativity, effectiveness and good use of claymation.
