the exaggerated task was really fun, i really enjoyed the research as much as making the animation itself, i started by looking at exaggerated facial features and well this got my imagination going, so after that i started thinking of the face i was going to use ad thought why not just use my own, i photographed my face and started using elements of a cartoon face and playing with scale and proportion, i made the eyes bigger, the lips big and plump, the neck very skinny, and the hair almost unmoving like block of clay. in the end i think it was a good outcome because it represented a sense of fun play with scale but it stool looked like something that was a moving, full of emotion, human being which is important because of course your character needs personality. now all that was left was to decide on the expressions i was going to use, i tried to think of 3 expressions that would easily fall in to eachother for a natural feel, so i went for happy to sad back to happy, instead of using more paper to take her back to happy i captured the images of her smiling again but backwards so it went happy, sad then reversed back to happy. im satisfied with the final outcome but if there was something i wish i did better, it would to to add more movement to the animation, maybe make her head move some more for a more dramatic feel.
