Evaluation

I have learnt a great deal about this subject during this module, with the biggest thing being that i have a subject area i may take forward in my career. I've always had an interest in animation but i've never taken it further than dabbling, this module has seen me able to do much more than that, and taught me a lot that i didn't know.

I found the module as whole, not just working on the final piece, to be thoroughly enjoyable, and they were an invaluable asset to my confidence going into the creation of the final piece, my confidence in animation has grown substantially and at this point i am seriously considering it as a career path. My intention is to spend the summer improving my skills, most likely through revisiting Valve's Source Filmmaker.

As for the final piece: despite being horribly disappointed by just how little i managed to complete of it, what i did manage to create was great in my eyes, especially the full view render which looks picture perfect to me, and I would love to say that i would have done things differently and opted for a more mediocre level of quality were i to do it again with the time allotted, but i don't have it in me. I had a very clear picture of what i wanted to achieve with this piece and i desperately wanted to create it to the level of quality i had in mind, and i know had i not been inundated with coursework from other modules, i would have been able to achieve this, the small amount i created is testament to that. There would have been a lot of challenges along the way, but i had planned for this and taken them into account.

Thinking about it, i have never found a subject that i've felt so passionate about.
