Critique Reflection

Overall I really enjoyed this project as a whole. I started early so that I could focus more on the animation and because of this I believe it helped me more in the long run to stay focused. Along with this I was very pleased with how I rigged the model because of how it moved without moving each armature by themselves. The way that I rigged my robot when it moved it was already very robotic so all I needed to change was how the claw moved and changing the influences on the dart, which was the only part I was insure about.

There were lots of positive feedback from my peers, which made me very proud of how my animation turned out, because my personal opinion on how I did differed on the comments I got. Some positives that they had for me was that the release of the dart was very realistic, contrary to how I believed that it looked which was very stuttered and fake. For example, they thought that the arch through the air was very smooth and realistic and that when he picked it up it looked extremely realistic as well.

If I were to do it all over I would want to incorporate more story in my animation, this is because many of the animations that were praised greatly in our class had more story and emotion. However, what was nice was that there was no points that my classmates thought that I could improve on. If I were to improve in a future project I would want to incorporate more story and add even more details, my strength, to have more atmosphere to my story.
