Second Crit Feedback

When it came to the second crit, I was much further along than I had been previously, which I flet good about. However this once again was an opportunity for me to be given feedback on what I had to show so far. This time around, there were two main things that were brought to my attention.

The first of which was the backgrounds. I explained to my peers and tutors that I intended to give the backgrounds some noise in order to make them slightly mobile, however it seemed to be a popular opinion that I kept the background as they were, since the characters had a wobble too. Many people felt this could result in being too much for the audience to take in.

The second, was my walk cycle at the start. It was suggested to me that the walk cycle needed a bit more personality and that I should consider adding in some extra frames, to make it look more unique.

Outcome

After this crit, I was slightly relieved that so many people suggested I leave the backgrounds as they were, because the could potentially save me a lot of time. However I decided to wait until post production, and then see if I had enough time left to play around with this some more. In regards to the walk cycle, I took on board the advice that was given to me, and decided that I would come back and make correction to this segment when I was a bit further down the line with animating, because I was in fear of spending too long on one small segment when I had the rest of the film to animate. But I was adamant thatI would come back to it.
