Reflective commentary


Well while doing the tutorial on both styles of animation in Rotoscoping I have realised that my skills are not far of real job advert but still I am have a long way to go before I am on a professional level, I feel will need a lot of consistency with a lot of practice. Rotoscoping is relatively easy depending on the amount being Rotoscoped the animation is a lot easier to be consistent because you are tracing or key framing in front of live image but also make it more harder as you must be very accurate with placement of your animation. I enjoyed the technique and appreciated the challenge of Rotoscoping. The 2D animation was harder but more enjoyable as if I was asked about a preference I would say 2D animation is the area of design I would like to focus on. The 3D animation was a lot more technical as you are animating a lot more components making it more easy to not show accuracy in what your Rotoscoping over but was still was a good challenge. In this unit the option of screen shots or video was given to us, I decided to do screen shots what are easier to complete but I would say doing a video would of been easier especially if you know what your doing. If something was not explained properly under a screen shot you, as the follower would be lost cause it is a still image instead of a flowing video but still like the idea of screen shots.
