Reflections on the Hayle project.

Looking at the animation retrospectively and going by the reactions that i have had from the limited people who have seen the finished project; i think that we have slightly missed the point of what we set out to do. May be it was a bit of a mission to portray this woman in such a way; when, in real life she obviously has plenty of friends and a decent social life. Maybe we would have been better off going for the gag type animation and portraying the character in a kind of creature comforts type of way. Either way i feel i still have a lot to offer the course and am looking forward to getting stuck into another project in the summer.
(The finished animation is to follow)
