Week 13A

In class we had watched a series of insightful videos centered around graphic designer Rick Morris. It was interesting seeing into the life of an actual successful graphic designer and hearing their thought process, freelancing, tools among other things. After watching the videos, I had spent the rest of the class finishing my animation. I had finished the entire animation and had fixed previous issues that I've been experiencing with it. I had managed to make the head recoil in a more realistic way as well as having the cigarette in his mouth react accordingly. I had also added and animated minor details such as blood splatters and gun smoke at the ending. Overall i'm quite satisfied with the animation. Although I didn't follow my storyboard exactly, I took ideas from each of them, tweaked them, and put them in motion. My only regret with the animation itself is the ending, as I feel like it may possibly be to abrupt. Due to time constraints, I wasn't able to start an entirely new scene and thought it'd be best to polish and correct other parts of the animation. Below is the final product.
