E-comm Reflection

           

            This year in animation I learned a lot. Last year I wasn’t to big on Maya Lighting but this year a learned how to do a lot of that stuff thanks to my peers. Also this year I learned a lot about pixel art and how to add depth to the pixel art. Lastly this year I learned how to manage time better.

                       

            The way I learned all of that stuff is because all of my peers are all very helpful. They all have helped me and I have helped them in return. I also have learned by trying again and again until I have figured it out. I also have made mistakes that I have been able to make something cooler out of.

            I think that it is important to learn from your peers because they are the ones that are closes to you in your workspace. If something is out of place and they don’t like then your employer like it most likely wont. Another reason that the learning is important is because its how you make things better because if you know that there is something that will make your project but you don’t how to do it you need to learn it. That’s why learning is important.

            My strengths at animation are pixel animation and story development. Anything I do in animation I always try to have a story in it. Even in the little animation I tried to add a story. The reason I am so good at pixel art is because I have always liked it and when I learned to do it I got really good at it. My weakness at animation is pretty much anything that has to do with Maya like lighting and shadows. I just have not been able to do them good. I did improve them by learning more about them from my peers and also worked with them on it.

            I hope to have a job that has something to do with what I have learned. I also plan to work on new animation and my portfolio during the summer. I hope that I also might get feed back from my peers every once in a while. Lastly I hope to be able to go somewhere to look at professional animations to learn from.

           

            If I could change thing I would have done better time management last year because I wasn’t as productive I was this year. I would also change the different type of animation because I only did pixel art and 3D. I would really have liked to do more 2D animations. Lastly I would have like to have done more group projects like E-comm Brawl.

           

            Overall in Ecomm I have learned a lot this year due to my peers. I also like the way that my animations turned out this year. Also I plan to do animations and work on my portfolio. Lastly I had a ton of fun in Ecomm this year and this was by far my favorite.
