Self Evaluation

Overall I felt like I did a really good job on this assignment. I learned a lot and did things I couldn't have imagined doing when I first walked into this class. In this project I spent a lot of times trying to do the same thing a bunch of different ways and even though I only used the way that I found to work the best for my project I learned a lot and know now now a lot of different ways to go about the same task.

This was the first time I used camera angles to view my animation and not just view it through the perspective view. This allowed me to do weird things that were not in the camera view(ex: when moving the pool cue around it would float under the pool table or over the table to where it had to be next or I would use another pool cue entirely) and I was able to do all that off the camera view so in the camera view everything looked normal and smooth. It allowed me to make it all "smoke and mirrors." For my video though if I had more time I would spend some time on looking for and putting in some sounds. And even though we had many days missed from the snow days and our class this semester was only 3 hours per class instead of 4 hours per class I still have learned enough as a good base in all 3 categories, modeling, cinematography, and animation.

I now have a good enough understating of all three of them now to know which one my interests lye in. Overall I would this project and this semester was a success and I plan on continue to mess around with animation in my free time and continue to get better at it.
