Evaluation
Throughout this assignment I have found that doing clay model animation was fun to make a model with, as when making my model I needed to make sure it was smooth and how I wanted it to be. I was really focused on what I wanted to do and I had many different ideas on what I wanted but every week my model either got messed up or disappeared which meant I had to start all over again, which was really hard because I was struggling with new ideas as I had forgotten my other ideas.

Looking at everyone’s feedback I have seen that each and everyone said nearly the same thing, how they liked the music and that the animation was good, this made me feel proud of myself as I received positive comment but overall I think the animation I did went not as well and as I wanted to do cut out animation and working with clay was really hard to make the camera focus as when moving the clay model I was moving it to fast which when watching back the animation, it looked jumpy and out of focus but other than this I enjoyed doing the experience working with clay model and if I were to improve anything, I would of improved on making more time to do my animation and think of a better story.

I really enjoyed one person’s animation in my class and I want to compare mine with the students, the student used cut out animation whereas I used clay model, the camera used for my animation was not well focused as I had to move the character step by step but using cut out animation was easier because the its just using paper and placing it in the right place.

Comparing my work with other students in the class was interesting because everyone said something different about the animations, the feedback was not really bad but what the student in my class said about mine was fair and I was happy about the comments, although I know myself I could have improved on all of this and now I know that next time I will be using cut out animation as the camera will be better focused other than that everything else went as planned and my animation itself was 20 seconds longs which I thought I could never do but in the end I did it.

>>> My green caterpillar with his orange ball <<< :)
I have took four pictures of my clay model as i didn't have time to make my animation



Today
i decided to make a caterpillar chasing after a ball, i have already done an animation but it wasn't long enough so i continued to do another animation. i hope this turns out to be 30 seconds long and not 3 :)

Today:
i tried to carry my animation on but some one had destroyed the last of my models so i was not happy but i will hopefully get my model ready for next lesson as i have already done one but it was just three seconds long, i am going to continue that so it is thirty seconds long. :)

NEW START:
i have started a brand new story it is about a spider being crushed by a person, i changed my idea after 2 weeks of hard modeling work some one destroyed them so i started a new story and made my animation (i have not finished it yet) its about three seconds long :)

Here is my new model :)

LESSON 2
Today i had to make my clay models again as some one had destroyed my others models i had made although i enjoyed making my models as it made my hands very greasy which was horrible. i have not yet finished my model, up to now i have only made one.

Here is my new model i have made but not yet have finished.

Today:
i have changed my mind and decided to do model animation instead of cut out as i have made my storyboard which helped me to decide what i wanted to do.

Different types of animations

* cut out
* model
* cell based
* pixilation
* time lapse


I have decided to do cut out animation as you can have more control over the placing of the cut outs, although i have decided to do cut out animation i have found that the other animations are very enjoyable to watch and it makes you think what animation is all about.

I have decided to look at several types of videos in animation to see the differences in animation:
