Group Project Production Diary: Final reels

These are my final showreels. 

 This is the full film. Overall, I don't think this experience was too bad. It taught me a lot of things about how to work in the industry, mainly getting things done and handed in on time. It was also quite refreshing to use flash again, and I have learnt to better organise frames on there. As I stated earlier, I would have definitely have aimed to get my section more finished, as there are still some areas left uncolored and somewhat messy. Because this was a team job of 4 people, it's no surprise that the art styles would be somewhat different. But they still transition well together. I also think that the music placed here works really well, especially the timing. 


This is a showreel featuring eveything I did in the animation. The first reel shows the final linework I did before colour was added. Because he had a shorter section, David (our group leader) was helpful enough to help with the colouring in, shown in the second segment. He coloured the majority of the scene, characters, backgrounds etc while I finished the animation. However, after I reached a position where I could take over and continue the colouring, as seen in the last section of this showreel, I altered a few areas that he coloured, such as the close up of the boy's eye. I also animated the fire and smoke that is present thoughout the scene. I won't lie, without Ben's help (he is in Vincent's 2D group and thus has done a fire animation already) it would have taken me far longer to animate the fire, which was easier to do than I thought it would be. If there was anything I would do differently with this piece it would almost certainly be to work quicker. Many of the shots took longer than they should have to animate, and if I had gone quicker, I may have been able to handle more of the colouring so David could focus on his stuff a bit more.
