I really enjoyed my work on project 1. I had a steady workflow from start to finish with the animatic. From the conceptualisation phase I already had an idea of what the animatic was going to be. The mood board was a fun process seeing all these different and unique concept artworks and designs. I was happy with the storyboards and how they turned out. The addition of colour is not usually used in storyboards but I felt as though it greatly helped with understanding what is in each scene.
I've realised now that I was a bit to ambitious with my original goals for some of my projects. Though a combination of multiple set-backs, group members leaving, work outside of SAE and time mismanagement forced me to not reach the scope of what I wanted to achieve. I'm still happy with what I was able to create, as unpolished as it might be. There's so much I learnt with the tutorials I followed this trimester and the information given to me by Mr Banks. Better methods for creating environmental assets like a tree and rocks. The UV unwrapping was a huge step up for me. Having to unwrap such a complex single model asset like the tree took some time. But I'm really happy with the results and will continue to use the new techniques I learnt.
