Final Post

1. In general, what did you like most about this class? What I liked most about this class was probably the time we spent on the computers because, to be perfectly honest, coming into this class, I didn't really have the best knowledge of computers. This class helped me better understand computers as well as the most important thing, animating.

2. What was your favorite project and why? I would have to say that my favorite project all year was the 3D Short because I had the most fun making this project and it really tested my ability to animate. It also showed me my own ability to work with Cheetah 3D which when I first started I thought would be difficult to work with. During this project, I was surprised with myself of how well the project was turning out. I was so happy with the finished product that I decided to make a sequel to it later on in the year which, in my opinion, wasn't as good as the first one but I was still proud of both. It was also gratifying to see everybody that watched jump and scream. Yes I know, I'm evil like that, Muahaha.

3. In general, what did you like least about this class? It's going to sound funny, but I REALLY disliked the blogs we had to do all year long only because I couldn't seem to remember to do them every week. At the beginning of the year, I was doing pretty well with keeping up on them, but then for some reason I couldn't for the life of me remember to post every week. But I promise you Ms. Licata, I will definitely remember to post EVERY week next year. If I don't, you can give Paul permission to beat me up every time I forget :)

4. What was your least favorite project and why? At this moment in time, I'm having a hard time thinking of a particular project that I disliked the most because, sadly, there were kind of few projects that I didn't like. Rotoscoping, Typography, 11 Second, that Science News Article one we had to do, the Logo projects. The only ones I really liked were the two 3D animations that I made which I thought were AWESOME and the Music Video project which I also had lots of fun making. I only wish that I was there to see everyone's reaction to it (sigh). But if I had to pick, I'd say that my least favorite project was the 2D Short because, at the time, I didn't have a lot of experience with animating and 2D just wasn't my thing this year. I really liked the 3D, but the 2D just seemed dull and boring to me all year.

5. What are your future plans after graduation? As of right now, N Trip is looking like it's going to be my first set in stone decision. After that, I'm still on the fence but it seems like I'm more or less leaning towards Daemon College (I still don't know how to spell that).

6. Do you feel that this class will help you achieve your future academic or career goals? I believe that this class will definitely play a HUGE role in my future career, whatever it may be. This class certainly showed me a lot of things that I probably couldn't learn anywhere in my school. Plus, I learned more about computers, which is a big help because I didn't know anything about computers what so ever before this class.

7. What advice would you give to incoming students? To really just pay attention and turn in your projects on time ALWAYS. Oh, and that not doing your blogs or storyboards will definitely kill your grade.

8. Additional Comments: Well, I think this Final Blog Post is definitely long winded that's for sure. But, in conclusion, I NEED TO DO MY BLOGS NEXT YEAR!!!! Like I said, that's something that I seriously need to start considering might be a good idea. Don't want to ruin that grade of mine next year like I did this year. But, I certainly had a lot of fun this year and I hope next year will be just as fun as this year was. Just gotta get through the summer and than it's back here again. Hard to believe that it's also going to be my last year before College. Might as well make the best of it.
