3D animation - finished product

This is my 3D animation. 

What I like about it: the thing I like most about my animation is that I used food instead of drawn things and I think it makes it look just a little bit different to what normally would be used such as lego bricks or drawn on paper. Another thing that I like about it is the music that I chose to go with it, its the Green Day version of The Simpsons theme song and I think it fits well with my animation as it is more upbeat than the original.

What I don't like about it and what could be improved: the one thing I do not like about my animation is the background, because you can see where the sheets of paper all overlap. If I was to do this animation again I would make sure that I had a sheet of paper big enough that could be used for the background and not multiple pieces of A4 paper.

3D animation storyboards

The reason I have created a storyboard before I did my animation is so that it was an easier process and somethings could be changed if I wanted them to be. It has a column for the visual - these are just simple drawing of the frames that will be in the animation, they are usually added upon when you create it and this is what you will see in the animation itself.

Then there is a column describing what is going on in the scene - as this might not be clear to see or understand in the animation its self or from what is depicted in the visual, and a column for what the sound is going to be. This allows you to write in key pieces of information that might be forgotten when actually animating. 

Ninja Fruit Animation - finished product

This is my finished animation with the sound added.

What I like about it: I like the way that the background music fits with what is happening in the video, and also the sound effects. Also I like when it zooms out at the end from the phone.I also like the simplicity of the animation itself, even though it is simple, it looks quite effective.

What I don't like about it and what can be improved: Even though I like the sound and background music, I think it could do with improving and some bits being a bit louder than others and maybe a little bit more in synch. Also I think that the drawings could be a bit more bolder, so they stand out more when being animated. Also I think that lighting could be added, so it looks a bit brighter than it does, because it looks a bit dull and dark.

Cut out animation - development

This is my finished animation in Final Cut Express. I am adding my sound effects to it and then it will be a finished product.

Added sound so it matched the visual was more difficult than I thought it was going to be, it took a lot of moving around and cutting down to get it just right with the visual, but in the finished product I think that it lines up very well.
