Evaluation

As a group overall, believe the project was a success. We only received a few criticisms and these can easily be fixed (for the most part). As an individual, I am pleased with the amount of work that went into my animation, although I feel it is a shame that most of it either isn't seen, or is only seen briefly.

The intro came out just as I wanted, especially after sound was added. I feel the car animation could have been made better if it fell into the actual entrance to the roller coaster, although this would require more modelling than time allowed as I felt I would have to model most of southend seafront (or at least adventure island) to make it not look out of place.

The roller coaster was meant to start at the bottom and work it's way up, however due to the previous reason, I felt I had to start with it facing the sky, missing out the ramp and stairs. I'm not sure how I could have made this part better, possibly adding music. For the still in the background, I would have preferred to to be of a higher resolution, but it was the best I could find.

I think the transition to the next scene was good, but a bit sudden. If I had modelled the bottom of the roller coaster, I could have used motion blur to merge into the next scene.

The sounds and music go well in my opinion, although the voice sounds could have been done better if they were made professionally.

Despite the flaws, I believe it is a good quality animation, spoiled slightly by the lack of characters in the casino scene, but made up in the gig.

An odd bug appeared where I would lose the UVW map on my coaster car, because of this it rendered once, but in the main file it no longer works.

The original file I used to animate the clip has been lost, an attempt to recreate it has been made, but it isn’t identical.
