Personal Evaluation

​

My purpose of the FMP.

​

The purpose of this FMP for me was to create a showreel that could be shown at the degree show. To do this, I needed to produce a few animations that showed my range in terms of ability to animate. I wanted a piece on character performance, body mechanics, and creature animation. I was then able to create my aims and objectives to allow me to have a showreel by the end of the project.  

​

What went well?

​

Throughout the project, my outcomes worked well for me as they show the range of ability I have in animating. I was able to produce these outcomes in the time I set myself with the help of my time management. My time management was another part of the project that worked well for me as it allowed me to keep on top of my work. Learning workflows was a further area that was beneficial in this project for myself as it allowed me to learn new techniques when animating to improve my efficiency of animating.

​

What did not go well?

​

I feel that the story I created for the ‘Take Note’ animation took a lot longer than I would have liked as I wanted to have the idea finished and start working on the animation. However, the story needs to be good for the animation to work. Tutorials with my tutor allowed me to understand what parts of the troy were weak that needed improving before working on the reference.

​

Overall.

​

Overall, this project has allowed me to learn necessary workflows, produce outcomes for a showreel, and prepare myself for work. My time management has allowed me to make the most out of this opportunity and I feel that from this project, I am ready to start looking for work in the industry as a 3D character performance animator.
