class evaluation

1. In general, what did you like most about this class?

i loved learning how to make Detailed animations with interesting stories 

2. In general, what did you like least about this class?

Storyboards 

3. What were your most favorite project and least favorite project and why?

my favorite project was my final because i always liked making videos related to a song in the background
my least favorite project was my 3D short because i just couldn't think of a interesting story at the time

4. Do you feel that this class will help you achieve your future academic or career goals? How or why (or why not)?

Yes i do feel that this class will help because of the lip synching the walk cycles timing and all the principles of animation will help me make video games if i make it there 

5. Additional comments:

i thought this was a great example of how music can really play into the song it made me think of the abstract audio project cause there was no singing involved but yet it was really good i loved how intense the emotions of the video played out in the music it was very well crafted i hope you enjoy it as much as i did.

Documentary mistakes

things i learned:

• that a soundtrack could make or break a documentary 
• that you should do script after shooting in a documentary
• that documentary writers sometimes don't even have a strong vision in mind

opinions:

• i like how this tells you all the simple mistakes you could make
• i don't like how some mistakes that can occur could be avoided with a little common sense so why point them out

question: why don't they make sure the have a strong vision before they go with the idea?

what i learned:

• that they call her a princess
• that she hates the dress in the movie

opinions:

• i dont like that Disney isn't using the original idea for the character as a strong willed woman
• i do like that people are fighting for the original concept of the character to be used in the doll

question: why did Disney make it so girly in the first place?
