Today in class we had a mini-critique for our 50% done animations. I got some feedback, but nobody really told me anything major that needed to change. I asked a few people what they thought about the white background, and they said it didn't really bother them that much. However, they said if I wanted to push my animation, I could include some things that bring the character to life. One of their ideas was to have it blinking, or to have the whiskers/nose twitch. In class, I tried out the puppet tool, which one of my classmates taught me how to use. However, I don't think it will work for what I want to do. One of my ideas is to hand animate the eye and put it into a gif that will only play once. I will have to see how this goes. Originally I was just going to turn my project in on Wednesday, but I think I will wait until after break. Hopefully I can make the changes necessary to really bring this project together.
After attempting to do the eye blink with a gif, it appears that I wont be able to. This is because the gif keeps corrupting when the composition is rendered. So, for now I have just made it so the background color and colors of the words/figure change to blue/white.
For next class we have to have our animations at 75% done, so here is mine:
