Evaluation: Review My Work And Others

My short animation is good in some areas but I fill like it was very rushed. Its very short and the text is said very quickly. I had to get it done very quickly because of the deadline day. Really I should have done more work outside of College and planned well in advance. This impacted the on the colour which I was planning on adding but rushed it. The only thing in colour is the phone which flashes from blue to green to red to yellow. This sort of works to the point that I was making. It draws attention to the phone which stands out from the greys, blacks and whites.

Some people commented that I made the most of the fact that I'm not the best a drawing but I managed to get character between the different stick people. I think it works really well but could have had more detail on the faces and body to add more expression. However for the purpose of the project, the information is all there and technology works as a short animation.

I asked Kat what she thought and she said 'It was good but short and a little rushed"



After Kat reviewed mine, I reviewed hers: her's was a lot shorter than mine which was a disadvantage but still good. The message was clear and simple. Nothing really bad about it. Seemed like a really good video.




When I started making my animation I didn't really know what to do. I started by putting together the background and coming up with the characters and what they would say. I spent a lot of time testing mouth movements for my characters but in the end I didn't have the features due to the little amount of time, also because it would have been quite complex.

I would have liked to add sound effects but ran out of time. If I could go back I would have added them. I would have added background sound effects of people talking, footsteps and dialog. Also maybe sound effects coming from the phone would drawn your attention to the phone and created humour.


Next time I make an animation I will work on colour and I'll put more time into it. Won't rush it and I'll add sound effects. I enjoyed it (even if I was rushed) I would have liked more time on it. I liked watching videos showing how to do walking animations and I learn't a bit more about Flash and how to create characters.
