Comic in hand

I have been given the three comic book for my class (I traded one of them for one copy of the other classes comic).

It's so cool to see it in a book.

I have learned new tricks with drawing up a page. The trim and rim line are not borders. There is still comic space after them. So it does not have a white border. I did not know this. And now the messy, unclean is visible on my comic. Yay... I have learnt my lesson for next time.

With reading my other classmates comics, I was able to reflect on how my comic turned out. I like how my comic has nice colour sceeems which seems to stand out from the other comics which are only black and white, with some colours. I could experiment with wordless comics or comics about different things, as sides from people. I will do some planning over the holiday's.

Animation on the Big Screen

I saw my Animation 'The Morning Rush' on the big screen in the film and animation exhibition 'Think & Create'.

It was so cool, scary to see it up there.

This has let my reflect on what I had achieved with my animation. Even though my animation was viewed among the PG13 films (I was very shocked and worried people would think differently of my animation. I did watch people leave the room, giving me less views.) I did receive a great reaction from the audience from chuckles and genuine laughter. This warmed my heart, being able to let/make people smile. That was all I wanted to achieve, smiles. I had a few people like Tutor Ruby and Tutor Chris come up to me and tell me that I did a good job. This both excites and terrifies me about next year, but that is a good thing isn't it? Along with my animation, I was able to view others animation and films, giving me more ideas and inspirations for what I could aim for and achieve with my future animation. 

I can see what I could improve on with my animation, to finish sooner and be able to have time to play around with special effects in 'After Effects' like lighting and wind, etc. Also, I would like to experiment with different stories I could tell next year, as well as normal people. There were some edit features I could have improved on but that will be a a goal for next year. I will work more on my animation ideas over the holiday's to get a head start on next year. This will give a lot of time to plan and come up with lots of possible ideas I can use and experiment with. I'll also see about upgrading my art style, though I am happy to have found one, people more often than not think that it is an anime style. My style is influenced by some anime, but is not anime. The only ideas I took from anime was the style of eyes they have and jaw lines. Everything else I would have thought I created myself. Oh well.

This will be my last post for this class. Thank you Rachel Mann for being such a lovely Tutor
