Animation

For our group animation we decided to create it using paper and cardboard cut-outs. We based our animation around a boy whose father had died and he believed he went up to the stars. He sees a shooting star and decides to follow it thinking it may be his father, he follows the star through the woods and sees it fall into a lake. When he looks into the lake he sees his fathers reflection and tries to grab the star out of the lake but cannot reach it. I think the story is quite good however I feel the animation isnt as good. This was my first time doing animation and i think i have learnt a lot, how to create an animation but also about story and how to draw up a storyboard. If i was to do the animation again i would maybe try and use different materials and add more music and sound effects. I would also maybe change the colour of the animation to black and white to show that the story is sad and upsetting to the viewer.
