Final Animation 

This is the final animation: 

The positives of this short film is: 

• As a group, we managed to complete the finished animation. This is a positive to me because a few days ago I thought we would be handing in a half-finished animation. 
• I think we was true to what we wanted to document and always kept both sides of the story in. 
• The animation looks visually pleasing and moves from frame to frame smoothly along with the audio. 

What could of gone better: 

• If we had more time I think we could of added more detail and took more care when adding the colour.
• I would be more tough on deadlines as a director because people in the group not showing me work and then telling me they have not done it has set us behind. 
• For the finished animation I tried to explain to Natalie before the hand in that the pieces of animations that she did were not correct. She went on to explain that it was too late to change it now, so I agreed to try and fit it in. Unfortunately, the scene with the stars fading to black could not be slotted in because I had told her that I had done the eye fade and it was the stars that needed to be faded. I told her to check the timetable and animatic but she still did not complete this scene right so I re-did the scene myself so it would look correct.  
• As well as that scene, the building morphing into the deer was incorrect. It was wrong because it was more of a shrink than a morphe. To make it fair on her, I added this scene into the animation. 
• Lastly, the tears on the hand could not be put in because that clip was only meant to be three seconds long. Unfortunately, she had done this scene seven seconds long. As well as the length, she had put fingers on the character and Briony did not add fingers onto the character design sheets. If she handed this to me before I would of explained that it needed changing. She said she would rather leave it like that. The reason I did not ask her to redo it was because everyone had a fair deadline and she had missed the deadline twice before this; therefore I made the decision not to put it in the final film as it was too late.
