Today I screened my animation to my class and gained feedback, to improve it. I personally thought that the screening went really well, The animation itself was complete as mention before, with subtitles. My peers were able to give me some good feedback to help me improve the animation and for when i animate in the future.
Overall everyone liked the animation, complimenting the humour, Lip syncing and animation in general, but with good points there are always bad points, but these are there for me to improve. I was told to add more movement in to one of the scenes with the character rocking back and forth; I made sure that the character was moving, but to make sure that it isn't to sharp I applied some ease of the graphic to make it more realistic.
Most of my feedback was to improve my subtitles, for people that have hearing disabilities. I have a person who has a hearing disability in my class and he himself gave me many different things to change to help him understand whats happening. The font was a main part that he wanted me to change; he told me to make it a san serif font, this is a really easy fix and it did make the subtitles look more a appealing. With the subtitles I added the sound effects as well, an example when the door opens and close, that helped him a lot but there was one scene that goes on for a while and he said to add the word 'repeat' to the subtitles to show that he is saying the same thing over and over. An important part of my improvements was to change the colour of everyone thats speaking because if they all talk at once then he would get confused which is understandable, so I gave everyone there own colour for him to know when each person is speaking, but I kept the sound effects white.
All this improvements made my animation better and I'm thankfully for the feedback. I personally thought that it would be better if I had more time and as I have mention previously that all the planning needed to be done early. In the future I want to do the research and planning done in the first few weeks, and to start animation early because I can make it more detailed and I can find new ways of doing new things. Overall the project has been very enlightening, I have learnt a lot of new things, I have really enjoyed learning how to lip sync and I think that I picked it up really well and I personally found it very easy.
