Mr Sam
What do you think was the best thing you did in the work you handed in?

I think the best thing that I did was my referencing. I took found lots of references from silent comedians that proved really useful in planning out the animation movements, particularly the more slapstick and elaborate ones. I also recorded a lot of references of myself and my peers. I invested a lot of work in understanding and imagining Billy Bob’s character, which I felt was important.

What was the hardest part?

The animation could only be 15 seconds, and the hardest part was figuring out how to convey a lot of subtext, story and character in that short amount of time.

What would you do differently?

I think I would try and establish the criteria of my animation earlier. I felt I spent too much time coming to a conclusion with my animation’s theme and concept. I think I would question the readability of my ideas harder, earlier, so as to establish what I was setting out to show and achieve. I think I would have done more research into short animations and films to get a better idea of how to convey a story, character or joke in a short amount of time.

How difficult or easy did you find it?

I found this project fairly difficult so far. I found coming up with, and developing an idea whilst at the same time keeping it simple and coherent, quite a difficult task. I also felt I could have done better in terms of time management and organization.

What is the most important thing you have learnt about yourself?

That I need to question further how my animation will be read and understood by the viewer and whether it’s subtext and context will be conveyed properly. I also need to manage and organize my time better and more appropriately.

What do you think the most important things are that the marker is looking for in this assignment?

For the student to demonstrate how well they explore and plan a shot for animation purposes
For the student to demonstrate their

    Throughout all of the tasks that I took part in, I believe that I performed well in some of them but then in others I could have performed much better. Throughout all of the tasks I believe that I participated as much as possible in order to get the tasks completed, participation was important for the team because of the limited numbers within the team, if I didn’t participate as much as possible then the team may have struggled to complete all of the tasks. I always try to participate as much as possible within all of the tasks, if I don’t then I feel like I have let the team down and could have done better within the task. Another part in which I did well was proposing and developing ideas for the team, when we were given the task I would firstly think to myself about any ideas I may have for the task, then if I believed that one of the ideas was good I would tell the group and find out their opinions on the idea. I was particularly good at developing the ideas of the other team members, when they come up with an idea I would try to think of ways in which It could be improved upon, I believe the team found this helpful because they were struggling to come with more ideas so if I could develop the ideas of the other team members then we would not have to keep up with a lot of new ideas. The final part in which I believe I did well was my communication with the team, throughout all of the tasks I was always talking with the other team members trying to help them through any problems that they were having with their part of the task, communication was key for the whole team so we could understand what each team member was doing and whether they needed help with their part of the task.…

    Duck Amck Analysis

    • 507 Words
    • 3 Pages

    In this analysis paper, I will be looking at the animated Warner Brothers short “Duck Amuck” by Chuck Jones. Jones was a well known and admired animator, producer, storyboard writer, and director for Warner Brothers Cartoon Studios, most remembered for his work with Loony Tunes and Merrie Melodies shorts. Not only this, but Jones is also recognized as the animator that developed Bugs Bunny’s personality and the personalities of many other beloved characters and made them the celebrated animated legends they are today. He also introduced the use of color smudging - a technique very useful in animating motion - while experimenting with different techniques applicable to animation. However, in “Duck Amuck”, he works more with concepts than techniques.…

    As the movie progressed, I found myself really enjoying it and being in awe at the comic adaptations and graphics in every scene. Emanatas, such as light bulbs or question marks, were frequently used to describe the way characters were feeling; narratory blocks, motion lines and fighting "KAPOW!" sings were also applied with an amazing variety of color and graphics. Besides for the comic flashes, the aspect that really stood out was the sound effects. In scenes where two characters were arguing, there would be crashing and lightsaber noises; whereas in love scenes, the kissing sounds along with the visual hearts made it difficult not feel the characters passion.…

    Also face includes little speech which is a feature I have transferred to my work- little speech. At one point in the narration I put 'she put on a brave face' which I tried to link with face as Martins 'mischievous' or 'up to no good' faces are often mentioned. The three flip books animated the most special if not most important lessons of my life. The flip books were supposed to highlight them. Also as I had a restriction as to how many words I could use to describe an event a flip books tells the story without the need of an explanation. To make the flip books I watched tutorial on YouTube of how to make the book then how to animate my drawings. I looked at many examples. It was a very fun task but it needed a lot of patience. that I don't have next time to improve I would have had more flip books and made them neater.…
