Experimental Project Outcome
The outcome of the 3D animation portion of this project is relatively satisfactory. However, there remains significant room for improvement in the stop-motion segment. Key areas that require further development include the clean-up of individual frames, refinement of the background, and the overall quality of the sketches. These elements currently lack the level of polish I would expect in a finalized piece.
This project marked my first encounter with stop-motion animation, a medium that proved to be both challenging and rewarding. I have come to understand that stop-motion demands considerable patience, meticulous planning, and an intensive post-production process. Despite the difficulties, this experience has allowed me to develop a new skill that broadens my creative capabilities.
It is important to note that this version of the project is not yet finalized. Due to time constraints, I am only able to submit the current iteration as a preliminary result. As such, I do not feel confident incorporating the stop-motion work into my Final Major Project (FMP) in its current form, except perhaps as supportive material or a credited experiment. However, I plan to continue refining the animation, lighting, and environment over the summer, with the aim of potentially including an improved version in the final FMP presentation.
