Reflection

This semester was very enriching for me. I had the chance to work with like-minded people and gain an insight on basic 2D animation. I realised that animation is not a simple thing to do. It requires lots of careful planning and good time management skills. Although I was busy at school, I tried to work on my project at least a couple of hours every week. I liked the lessons and presentations in this course. I acquired new knowledge that is useful in my career. I have started thinking about giving instructions to students in the form of animation. Adobe Flash CS6 was helpful for me to translate my storyboard into an amateur animation project. I am aware that there is a lot more to learn so I am happy to have at least touched the tip of the iceberg. I can confidently claim that I know the principles of animation and how tweening can be done. Aside my friends, both the lecturers were very approachable and friendly. I must particularly thank Dr. J and Dr. Shah for their patience and endless encouraging words throughout the course. They were very humble and helpful. It saddens me to bid goodbye to this semester as it marks the end of the Animation course but I am glad to have learned a lot and made good friends along the way. Animation was fun, engaging and a bit scary but I am glad I went through the whole cycle :)
