Research week
• One thing I did well: I feel like I did quite a lot of relevant research for my
project especially researching about the different types of animation, I feel
like it’s important to establish which ones there are and what one I’m going
to use. I also feel like researching about 2d animation was very interesting
because its now becoming less used over the new way of 2d animation.
• One thing I could have improved on: I wish I had researched about different
software I could have used to animate with because my whole project
would have probably been a lot easier to make and a lot better for that
matter.
• My goal for next week: my goal is to get at least more than 2 pages of
research done and to research about either different animators or some
research on gaming and the gaming industry.

3.
Planning week
• One thing I did well: I feel like I did well with my idea generation. I felt like
there was a lot to say about different types of interviews and the amount
of people who use animation over their interviews and the different styles
of animation techniques used. I also felt like found out a lot about how
people conduct interviews when experimenting and also learning about
different brush techniques while doing my drawing experiments.
• One thing I could improve on: I think I could probably improve on my
schedule work and maybe give it more depth and organise it better. I also
think that I could have maybe planned a bit more on how I’m going to
execute my product
• My goal for next week: I’m going to try get a better idea of how I’m going
to Construct my product and how im going to interview

Production 1
• One thing I’ve done well: I think creating the outro and intro was a
good idea to settle on first because I normally don’t get time to do
either in my projects a lot of the time. I think I’m going to add more
frames and try make it smoother
• One thing I could improve on: I feel like I could be working at a faster
pace and maybe I could try add more detail to the outro and intro. I
could also be doing the first question at the same time then it
narrows it down to 19 left
• My goal for next week: my goal is to try get 5-10 questions done and
to go back and improve on them once I create the basics of each one.

5.
Production 2
• One thing I’ve done well: I’ve completed the outro and intro and I’ve
started more questions, not as many as I had hoped but it is still progress. I
also think that I’ve improved on my drawing a lot and I feel like it will be
very beneficial and easier to work with my own character. I also think I did
well on the first question and I believe that it actually seems rather funny
while also keeping a form of professionalism
• One thing I could improve on: definitely time management, I should be
quicker at making the questions and also trying to create more of the main
sections before adding more frames. I think I could probably get more done
if I pre draw things and maybe re use certain back ground items.
• My goal for next week: I’m going to aim for 15 questions before coming
back from Christmas and I’m hopefully going to start adding some colour to
my work. I feel like working in black and white might make things more
dull.

Production 3
• One think that went well: I managed to recover a little of what I had
done from the last two weeks but most of it was gone so I’m basically
restarting and I’ve only got a little bit to work with
• One thing to improve on: backing up my work more would help. Now
thay I’ve lost 2 weeks worth of work it’s harder to get the project
completed so I’m going to make sure to back up everything so I don’t
lose more work. I could also probably get better at organising work
too encase.
• My goal for next week: cut down the project and make it simpler so it
is completed on time.

7.
Production 4
• One thing that went well: I’ve managed to do at least 2 questions
after the loss at least and I’m trying to crack through as much as I
possibly can before evaluation. I think this is a bit of progress and
hopefully this turns out okay
• One thing to improve: I’m going to have to make another intro and
outro for my work and I’m not even sure if I will have the time but I’m
going to try make it better than the first version at least
• My goal for next week: I’m going to complete as much as the project
as possible even if it runs into evaluation.

8.
Eval week plus extra
• One thing that went well: I managed to complete my evaluation,
update my website a bit and I’ve gotten closer to completing the
project although it’s not how I wanted it to turn out. I’ve had to cut
the project to 5 questions to save time and hope for the best really.
• One thing to improve on: backing up work on a thumbstick for future
use so I don’t lose work anymore. It has been hard trying to sort
everything out after the wipe and i wish I had more time to improve
my work.
• I ended up using a different software which helped me get the project
finished and for future use I’m going to use that software over
Photoshop.
