Proposed Idea Feedback
During today’s workshop I shared my initial idea for my final year project with the rest of the class in order to receive feedback on my idea. My proposed project is to;
“Create two to three animations that will talk about mental health and wellbeing, specifically positive mental health. These animation will be aimed at children in order to help educate them and give them a better understanding of how to maintain positive mental health”
Below is some of the feedback I received after pitching my idea.
- Look into different styles of animation and character design
- Look into the workflow
- Think about the narrative (educational or my story like)
- Make sure to treat mental health with respect
- Do detail research on mental health and wellbeing in order to inform people correctly within the animations
- Look into different ways to animate
- Character animator
- After effects
- Illustrator
- Adobe animate
After receiving all this feedback, I now have plenty of different avenues to research in preparation for creating my animations. One of the most important elements of my project, aside from the research into mental health, will be to decide which programme I will use to create my animations. This feedback has provided me with numerous avenues which I could use, and so one of my first tasks will be to research these and test out which programme/s and workflow will be best for my project.
