In general, what did you like most about this class? - That I got to get a lot of experience with multiple animation programs and learning what techniques I did and didn't like to use in my animations.
What was your favorite project and why? - The stop motion project. Even though mine didn't turn out as good as I planned, it introduced me into stop motion and it made me feel that I have this whole other type of technique that I can do anywhere without a crazy program.
In general, what did you like least about this class? - The fact that we didn't learn any basic Actionscript coding. I really wish I learned how to add play buttons so I could properly add them to websites (like Newgrounds where people hate it when theres no buttons)
What was your least favorite project and why? -Rotoscoping because it was too much of a repetitive project for me. It didn't help that I didn't use a tablet though.
What are your future plans upon graduation? -Working in either the music or film industry.
Do you feel that this class will help you achieve your future academic or career goals? Please give specific examples. - Possibly. Animating has been something I've always wanted to learn ever since I was a young teenager when I first found flash videos online. I'd prefer to use animation along side other skills like film (for example, having an animated person fighting a real person).
What advice would you give to incoming students? - Do your storyboards on time and have you animations be as weird as possible. Licata likes weird.
Additional comments:
- I always liked doing my storyboards last minute. It makes me think more spontaneously which leads to my weird ideas.
