Introduction to Animation - Tutorial reflection

Today was the hand in deadline date of our assignment 'Walk this way', which I entitled 'Taking the Piss', and to my delight, I handed in the above piece, which although I could obviously improve upon, get across my original intention; to be funny through a storyline. The lesson I learned: be simple! Actually, having so much detail out of my control in my illustrations caused me to lose the consistent smoothness that a simpler drawing would have. A lesson learned.

The class today included a brief breakdown of film language terms, such as the different kinds of shots to use and why. This proved most useful for our task for next week, before our next assignment brief, was to create and present storyboard of a story centring from two words from an array of abstract words issued us, lasting 20 seconds and containing a variety of well chosen story telling shots. The story I've chosen is centred around the words 'Ruby' and 'Pram' and I'll show you what becomes of that next post.
