While I believe there is always room for improvement, I truly believe I have come a long way throughout the semester. I have been directing a lot of my attention towards improving the timing using graph editor in Maya within my animations and I have definitely developed a stronger personal grasp of what After Effects has to offer. I look forward to even more improvement in the future regarding the timing of my characters!
Characters in order of appearance:
1st character – male/adult/determined with high energy

Overall, I enjoyed the first project. It allowed me to become familiar with the animation process. I did struggle with After Effects though. So, for the second assignment I hope to gain a little more experience with the program with more practice.
