Today we had our final crit which was interesting seeing how far everyone else has gotten in their project, especially as Hayley and I have chosen a different medium to work with.
We presented our animatic yet again as this had been a successful choice for us in the past crits, and we showed all of our animation so far, minus the sheep which we did ten seconds of today! (which leaves us with only 20 seconds left, ah!).
We didn't receive much feedback that we could apply to our animation in particular, but we were advised to think about 'g' sounds for when we animate the sheep next. Sara and Martin wondered why there was a small o on the word 'exaggerated' for the newt, and we said that is what we felt mirrored our own references when we continuously spoke the word aloud to each other. Martin told us to treat it like an 'ou' sound, so now we have this for future reference.
Both Martin and Sara complimented us on our use of the mouth poses and how realistic they look, which I find such a great compliment because we sat down for ages to try and work the different poses in conjunction with their correct sound. I really worked hard on the timings of the poses, making sure they lasted for the exact amount of time they needed so that meant less post-production work for us, and it seems as though it has payed off! Our peers also liked the bird shake for the word 'drizzle' which I thought was another compliment for us.
Overall I am so proud of what we have achieved so far! Hayley and I have combined all of our skills to create something that is new to us, and I feel like we are learning every day from the problems we faced and the mistakes we made. This is so new to me, but I am becoming more confident in animating and directing, and I am really enjoying the whole process!
