11sec Animation Evaluation
getting to the last stage was quite a journey, like i said earlier i had problems with the length of the animation, but this still ran all the way till the end, i cut the entire openeing and it was still long, so i cut out scene two where the fox appears outside the window and it was still quite long, 19 secs to be exact, i thought of cutting out more but that was just ridiculous, if i took away anymore of the animation, it would be left without a story, so i decided to leave it at 19 secs. im not 100% pleased with the final outcome because it has some glitches, firstly when the fox is imagning he is about to eat the pie, i think i made a mistake by drawing both there reactions to this on the same paper. Because the eye only concentrates on the fox and doesnt have enough time to even realise the pie is there, i should have drawn teh speech bubble alone on sepertate pages, with a close up camera angle, then gone back to the fox, this way it would be easier to understand.
i pretty much focused on the one camera angle through out the animation, just straight head on wide shot of the scenes. No close up’s or anything, just simple, i think this helped smoothly bring one scene in to another, while maintaining the same feel and atmoshpehere for the audience.

another problem i encountered was while capturing, i stacked all the paper and it got closer and closer to the camera, changing the line and colour balance of some of the animation, you can see as your watching it, the lines begin to fade and the paper gets very bright. this took away from what my animation had to offer and made it look quite tacky and confusing because you cant see the face expressions most of the time.
Through this process i learnt many properties such as working with an animal, rather than humansm and trying to give that animal, human like actions and facial expressions, but keeping him very cartoony at the same time, this was a fun challenge because it gave me the chance to realise where i was going wrong and what aspects i needed to improve on. I also learnt more about eggsaturation, and how to make it work well with your audience, not making it look un natural, also anticipation was another, it was exiting experimanting and taking these principles further by applying them to a storyline.
Over all im happy with the outcome because i feel i’ve learnt a great deal from the mistakes i made and i wouldnt have done it any other way. Although my animation runs longer than the soundtrack, i am proud of it as it took me to the first steps of being an animator.
