Who am I? Why am I here? What do I want to learn?

Why you chose to study on this programme ?

I have always been interested in animation and making my own characters move. I like the messages that animations communicate in todays modern society because they open your mind to different questions and answers. I would like to gain the knowledge and skill of how to make my own movable,  story telling characters and scenery to accompany my comic book creating skills.

What do you want to learn during this programme ?

 Learn how to animate in 2D, 3D, stop motion and understand what it takes to work as part of a team to produce a finished animated product e.g. How each member of a team earns a selected role, character designer, animator etc.

What skills do you think are your strengths ?

I can design both characters, storyboards, comics based on both imaginative and real life events.

What things that you want to improve ?

Aspects of my characters and design, parts of my sketching because some of my characters look unrealistic or sometimes too similar. My detailing of clothing is not very efficient and could do with working on e.g. laces on shoes, trainer and boots.

What ways you will evaluate your progress ?

Document all progress with designing through sketches and photographs, then later compare and note down improvements with images of design work followed by noted feedback from other animation students if needed.
