Evaluation

We were asked to make an animation of our choice. When I heard we had to pick between model based, pixelation, and cutout I picked cutout because I think it's the easiest and its less messy then model based. when we were looking for what to pick as a story line I decided to put both of my favorite cartoons together which is tom and jerry and courage the cowardly dog. After I did the research on both cartoons I started to put my ideas on a mind map, and then I started to draw my storyboard and how the story will play out. It took me a while to draw everything for the animation, thats why I didn't have much time to film it. I think for the first time I make an animation on my own its good but hopefully next time I will separate my time better and I will have more experience on how to draw my animation and on how to film it.

A Reply To Your Comments

I would like to thank you all for your nice comments, at first I wasn't sure if I should draw the full thing but then I thought it would look weird if I drew the characters and not the background so i ended up drawing the whole thing. I will try to make the movements of the characters better next time. I personally think it wasn't straight it was crooked (see pic 1) and the characters movements weren't smooth (see pic 2) and the lighting when courage comes is bad (see pic 3). To improve it I think I should take more time filming it and I should make more drawings of those characters to make it look better, and i should film the ending slower (see video from 00:32 to 00:35). :)
