Animation Evaluation

The questionnaire I created for my Esting animation got 12 survey responses. The responses varied on different qualities these qualities being:

• Genre & audience
• Content & narrative
• Style (of animation; claymation, puppets, models, etc.)
• Characters (development, quality of production, costume, etc.)
• Techniques & technical qualities (frame rate, movement, skill in animating multiple actions)
• Aesthetic qualities (the way it looks; mise-en-scene etc.)
• Creative qualities (imagination and flair) .

I exhibited the Esting via YouTube after editing and sorting through the images on premier pro. I obtained my feedback via Survey Monkey and the comment section underneath the video. The constraints we found out was that the music supplied wasn't very good and they were all we could use if we were entering the competition. Another was we had to do it on different days but the problem with that is the weather was different so we had to re-shoot it all several times.

We had about 2 weeks for each planning,filming and editing we stuck to it well but we needed to use 1 day of editing to film as the weather was different each day. The one problem we had was printing the shirt as we struggled to get the logo onto the shirt. I think we did meet the brief as we made the Esting that appeals to the E4 target audience, we also used a public YouTube account and if we were entering it all we need to do is tweet the url to them.

I now know how to make an Esting and how much pressure it takes to make one and also what problems come with it. Working to a brief meant that me and Reece had to be less creative than we wanted to be. If the brief was something a little more open I think I could have had more creative ideas but I wasn't able to as the video could only be 10 seconds long. I enjoyed creating the animation as I liked the taking photos even though it takes lots of time up.
