Evaluation

Overall i am quite happy with the final 26 second animation. However there are still a few things which i wish/could have done differently, such as spend a little more time with a steady hand to make the curves for the puddles a little smoother. But since this was my first ever time creating an animation i am pleased with my result!

Thanks to this project i have learnt a valuable new skill and found several programs i never knew existed, one of my favourites is 'i can animate' which is why i chose to use it for my final animation. I am still far from being an expert in this field but am much more aware of the different things out there to use.

Programs used:
I Can Animate
Adobe After Effects

Final Animation

Adding Audio


This is a screen shot of the setup of adding the audio to my animation.

Animation Without Audio


I am quite pleased with it so far, i made the shots quite jittery so that it would go with the music ( which you will see once i have added it to it). One thing that i think could be made better is the puddle to be made less jaggered with smoother curves, but overall quite pleased.

Flowers


I'm not very impressed with this, i don't think it looks very good so i don't intend to use this in my final animation.

Puddle Colour

So here i have added rings of different colours into the puddle which incorporates the multi coloured drips coming from the tap.



I think really that i preferred it when it was just one single colour which means that i will have to just have blue drips as it wouldn't make sense to have multi coloured drips with a blue puddle.

Changing Colour

I looked into changing the colour of the water/drips i have drawn onto my animation to see what it looked like and to try and improve it.





I really like the changes of colour so i think i'll go on to  try and change some of the puddles colouring aswell.
