The bald man and the fly fable - Evaluation

This is my final animation. For some reason, the size is a bit small, however, i am not sure how to resize it. It may be a short animation but i have put a lot of effort into this.

Over the past 12 weeks, i have learned a lot of interesting things that i didn't know i could do before. When i started this module, i felt very motivated, however, i took did not take advantage of the time i had. I have wasted some time, although i have attended my class regularly and tried to make progress each week. The problem i had was i had other commitments which stopped me from doing more work during weekdays and out of tutorials. Because i work before the class, as soon as i get there, i am too tired to do anything. This was something i could have changed. I cannot control other things but i could have been more attentive in the class. I did however put as much effort as i possibly can. I have stayed behind after classes to do my work but this was still not enough. I really didn't get started until it was over  6 weeks, so i only really had 6 weeks to complete my work.

The quality of my animation could be improved. I have learned that it is very important not to waste time as time pass by so quickly. before you know it, the module is not finished. A problem i had to face was rushing my work in the last week. I could not get any help, however, there are resources that were available. I have taken books out from the library to teach my self how the work needed to be done.
My main problem with my animation was skinning. I have tried changing the weights of vertices, however, the outcome did not seem to change much. Also, the fly could have been more animated in a way so that it moves its wings or rolls its eyes. This was something i originally planed to do, but because of the short time I had left, i was unable to achieve all that i planned from the beginning. As you will see back in week 5, I made my storyboard. But I was only able to complete few scenes.

Overall, I am pleased with my work as i made something myself. With the lecturer's help. But from this project. Time management is very important and it is something I will always remember to get a better quality work.

Light and Camera

This is the top view, showing the lighting. I  have used a target light. the reason for this is because i could not get the omni light to look natural on my scene. I was not sure of the other light settings such as mr sky portal or free light, so i decided to stick to what i know. I could not get a good lighting for my scene as to be very honest, it did not really need light, cause now, the scene is a little too bright. I changed the light from a cylinder to a rectangle, as a cylinder is not really appropriate in this scene.

This was the first time i used the camera settings. I enjoyed using it, it makes the animation more realistic when a camera had been used. I also used a target camera. From my point of view, i could have made my camera work much better, however, i was limited the the amount of time i had left. but in the future, this is something i would like to work on and improve.
