Self evaluation::

1. What was your design or visual approach to this project?

The visual approach that we use first is a car to take him to the airport.  Next, the aircraft that Adam took to go to Ethiopia to help the children.  Last, the background pictures and buildings.

2. What was the purpose of this project, were you successful? Why or Why not?

The purpose of this project is to show the audience how Adam goes to Ethiopia to help teach the village about malaria prevention.  We showed this by using animations of an aircraft and a car.  We also showed to the audience that they can see flying mosquitoes.  This helped us to show that he is going to teach people how to treat themselves and their family.  It was successful, because as we see from the movie that airplane and cars took him to Ethiopia and showed the flying mosquitos.

3. What elements and/or principles of art/design or animation did you incorporate into this project?

We used follow through and an overlapping action.  We demonstrated that when Adam walks his arms and legs move as a different timing event.  This means the other arm follows the first one to catch up.  The other principle that we used is Arcs.  Arcs give the animation more natural action like you can see from Adam, such as: his eye movement and arm movement.

4. Did you complete all the requirements for this project? What techniques, concepts learned from readings
and/or lessons, if any did you apply?

We completed all the requirements for this project.  For example, we used treatment, script, and a storyboard.  In addition, we used the principle of animation before we did the animation, which helped us a lot.  We also used the solid flexible model, key frame, and tweens that we got from the reading.

5. During the class/instructor critique what suggestions/constructive criticism, observations or advice were made.

Some suggestions are to have background music, using at least two principles of animation, dimension, 50 seconds, and character.

6. If you were to critique yourself on this project, describe what you would change or do differently if anything.

I might use a sound track to make it more alive. A music background will help the audience to listen, watch more attentively, and make it interesting.

7. Did you learn anything new or discover anything in the process and research of this project? If so what?

 The new things I learned are: how to animate, how to use a storyboard, and how to use the principles of animation.
