Responding to Peer Feedback

Thank you everyone who watched and posted feedback to my animation, in this post I will be responding to it.

Thomas Wilson

The reason I have the music as it was, is because it was intended to be a music video, for the specific song, because of this reason, I could not change the music during the fight scene, but I do agree about the explosion, I wish I had animated more of an explosion, my original intention was to have it cut off abruptly, but it didn’t work very well as it was not the end of the song, but part way through so it doesn’t feel right when it ends, though you were never meant to see after the explosion, my plan was always for it to end abruptly. Thank you for your feedback.

Matty Oxley

Thank you, as you can see when you look closely, I also had a bit of issue keeping the paper in line, it just likes to go all over the place as you film, as for the “FIGHT” scene where the text comes up, I felt it delayed a little for a second, so I wish I made it cut off a little sooner, so my timing was a little off.

James Smerdon

Thank you James, and I agree, the lighting was terrible, next time I will bug Kevin for a better environment to animate in, so that it is more consistent, maybe a studio with a light would be good, although I’m not sure that would be possible in the college, and I will take note on the gun, though with the words fight only being shouted for a second, I had a time constraint to keep within.

 Above is an example of some of the choppy lighting, it goes from very dark to to much brightness very quickly.

Andrew Culley

Thank you very much, I used thicker card like paper rather than just paper, this gave a little weight to the paper, making it stay still a little better than normal paper, it also created a nice dense colour. Thank you though I personally feel the timing could have been better, just cut-off a little sooner for the “FIGHT” part and some other things I felt were off.

Soph MBoro

Thank you Sophie, I’m glad you liked the sound and I agree again, the explosion could have went on a little longer, but my original plan was to have it cut off abruptly, as the song ends abruptly, but I had ended up not using the whole song, as I did not have time to animate for the whole song sadly.

Charlie Breed

Thanks Charlie, it's really encouraging to see this kind of feedback, if you like the song it's made by Starship Amazing, and it's called "FIGHT"

Michael Lane

Hey Mike, thanks for the feedback, I agree with the lighting, it was terrible, but there wasn't a lot I could do as I was animating in a classroom full of people doing things, I'm not sure how the lighting was that bad though, it changes a lot and I could not work out why, it's not like the other students were flicking the light on and off, also the video becomes very blurred at one point, I think I may have messup with the camera focus at one point here is an example below.
