In today's Education Futures session, we presented our animation assignments to our group, giving us a chance to watch each others and discuss what we found enjoyable/difficult etc. It was interesting to see the different techniques that had been used, and what effect this has on the end products. I particularly enjoyed Tristan's project, as he had based it on the classic fable 'The Lion and the Monkey'. He used children's toy figures for his characters and props, which allowed him to manipulate them easily, creating a consistent, flowing film. I was particularly impressed with the setting for his film, as he used real plants and leaves to create some movement in the background of his scenes. Upon discussion, Tristan explained that he had planned his animation carefully, using a drawing board of time frames, to set out what was going to be filmed in each scene. In my own opinion, this planning shows through the quality of his end product. He also managed to keep his lighting fairly consistent, and the placement of his props.
The animation was teamed up with various sound effects, including narration from Tristan himself. My only piece of constructive criticism would be that there were not enough sound effects included in the overall piece, leaving it with a few quiet parts. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed the animation, which you can watch here!
