I began the day with a crit. It was a little dampening to my soul. I really have no idea what i'm doing with this project and am really finding it hard to focus and the crit today highlighted this very brightly.
But this is good, as now i can try and improve from here. I do think a lot of my struggle is to do with my blog and the fact that i am being too vague with what i want from this project.
I'm discovering i also never look back at my tutorial notes once they've been written, so as a way of improving my learning and hopefully finding more focus i am typing the notes up now, with extra notes. This does seem lengthy but it is helping me to reflect and pick out main things to then post on my blog.
So from writing up my notes i have found that i need...
- To make my blog clearer, less chatty. Using bullet points and summarising what i have learnt, and why i have learnt it. Evaluate the learning process, was it worth it? I would ideally like to re-summarise and refine my blog, and fill any gaps.
- Explain in more detail about the camera and equipment i am using as well as introducing after effects and other programmes into my blog.
- Get more specific. Find specific things i want to learn and go with it. Be less vague. Find more animations that use styles and effects i like and attempt it. It doesn't need to be amazing quality in the aesthetics of it, as this project for me is to explore and to get far more confident with after effects. To do this well, i really do need to find specific effects.
I also learnt that do think i am trying to aim for too much. I want to be able to illustrate my animations and to also be in charge of any filming, as well as the after effects. These are all things i want to be really good at, however, animation and after effects are what i have chosen to do for this project, and is something i do really enjoy, and actually enjoy learning.
