Final Animation Project

Our Project

For our animation project my group decided to make a Mario like game and have one of us running and jumping around in it. 

The Process

My group first started the project by thinking of multiple ideas for us to use and do. we all brainstormed and eventually decided that we would let Greyson decide what we should do for the project because we narrowed down our ideas to us recreating a Mario game. After this Greyson and Laura began drawing concepts for what the we should create in the animation. They eventually created a few drawings of the enemy Laura fights and other objects we would put in the animation. Next Laura and Greyson created the script and storyboard as well as creating a video of Laura running. After we picked our roles in our project we got to work to finish the animation.

My Role

My role in the project was to make the 3D boss that Laura had to fight and the 3D pixel coin she gets.

While I was animating this I learned that you could parent lights to objects instead of having to animate them completely separately.

Reflection

In conclusion, I would have to say this wasn't the most enjoyable group project I've done because we lacked lots of communication and I often had to lead and help the others. I'd say we should try to communicate more next time so we don't get so lost.

There was one good thing we did well which was all agreeing on ideas and being okay with editing or changing something with our own parts. the lesson I'll take from this project would probably be to communicate a huge amount with your team instead of all working individually on your own parts.
