Despite this however, I did receive some good feedback on my use of rotoscoping and layers in After Effects and I was praised on how well I had managed to get the work done in such a short period of time. This isn't to say that there weren't plenty of improvements to make however. The main issue with the animation is the end scene. After watching the animation over again, it appears that the last scene runs too quickly and it takes the humour out of the gag at the end, which for me is an important part of the sequence, as it introduces the element of humour that is present within the book. If I have enough time after I have completed the animation and added all the sounds, I will go in and add a few more frames to the last scene and extend it in order to make it clearer. It was also pointed out that the character's face doesn't ever change expression throughout the animation. This was due to me losing half of my work and not having enough time to animate the facial features. But I do agree that it takes something away from the animation and I would have really liked to have animated the facial features, but these things don't always go to plan. A final point was made about the resolution of some of my assets. I'm not quite sure why some of the assets are a lower resolution than the others and I'm not quite sure why this has happened, as I have created all of my assets in the same resolution. However, if I have time once I have completed my animation I will definitely look into it and try to solve it, as I feel that it will help to increase the quality of my animation.
Overall, I am really pleased with the feedback I have received today and I feel proud of my animation despite all the trouble I have had with it.
