Final Major Project Week 1 - Preparation
I spent the majority of the last week preparing for the assessment of the years previous projects but in doing that I had a lot of time to reflect on what I enjoyed and what I didn't. I'm well aware at this point that if I don't find enough enjoyment in a project then there's little to no chance of it going well, this is why the Monster and Interpretation projects went far better for me than the Atmosphere project did. With this in mind I took a close look at exactly why I enjoyed those project so much and one thing I've settled on can be summed up in a single word: 'Puppet' The reason I liked those projects and the reason I liked working in After Affects and Maya in general was simple, I enjoy 'playing' with my creations. That's not to say I don't like the act of creation itself. It's just I love manipulating them, breathing life into them and giving them personality. It's an aspect of animation I enjoy more than the creation
