25 Second Animation - Final Crit (OUAN405)

I was really happy with the final crit. I got some helpful feedback, all of which I decided to apply to my animation.

The character animation got good reception as it has a good sense of weight and momentum and it's well timed, so I'm well pleased that I don't have to redo any of that. The fact that the guy gets hit by a t-model ford was brought up, and I explained that it was FUNNY because t-model Fords tend to be driven by wealthy old people, and it's funnier when rich old people commit crimes. When a young man commits vehicular manslaughter, it's sad because he has his whole life ahead of him now ruined. This isn't the case for a rich old person.


I was advised to change my opening shots. The second one, I found, looked quite ugly and the fact that it was a still image (since I removed the zoom), made it a dead spot in the animation. I made the background a little more interesting and extended the size of the canvas to give me more space to play with the zoom and 3D layers.

Version one
Better version
I made the buildings more detailed to match the aesthetic of the rest of the animation. Also I added a slight gradient to the buildings in the background.

Finally, I added a shoe to my final shot.

There it is
