Reflection

This project served as a culmination of all the techniques we’ve learned throughout the semester, bringing together various skills into one cohesive piece. Unlike our previous tasks, this was a more complex and large-scale project that required us to animate multiple scenes and seamlessly combine them into a single narrative.

Throughout the process, I realized how crucial planning and organization are in animation. For instance, before even starting the illustrations, I had to think ahead about how each scene would move—this helped me design the layers accordingly to allow for smooth and independent animation of each element.

Additionally, I learned that instead of simply trimming out unnecessary parts during editing, it's more effective to anticipate and isolate key moments from the beginning. This ensures that the most impactful visuals are captured and clearly presented in the final video.

I also see areas for improvement. The color contrast could have been handled more effectively to strengthen visual clarity and mood. I also think the project could benefit from stronger compositions in some scenes to guide the viewer’s eye more intentionally. On the animation side, there’s room to expand the movement and add more dynamic elements, which would bring the scenes to life even more.

Overall, this project taught me to think beyond static visuals—it challenged me to view each element as part of a moving, evolving story, and helped me understand the importance of both planning and adaptability in the creative process
