Rocket Mini-Project - Final Animation Video

Link to final animation here

The animation includes all the main poses and action from the storyboard I made for it and the timing of the different parts of the scene work well with each other. I was able to add some secondary action with the eye blinks and when he looks at the flag so that he knows that it’s time to launch. These areas work well in the animation and makes a believable character that has clear emotions through the animation. But, some parts of the rocket animation don’t work so well and could be improved further to make sure that the audience gets the story and sees the emotion that’s being portrayed. For example, the anger emotion (when he’s about to hit the floor out of frustration) could have been emphasized more through the body language and this would have made it more believable that the character has raged out, because it looks slightly weak. Also, I could have added some secondary action to the little antenna at the top of the rocket just to add to some of the emotion he felt and to improve on the character animation. Therefore, the animation is well made with the different emotions and actions included from the original plan, but there are some slight things that could be changed to help express it’s story clearly.
