Evaluation of completed video
Initially I wanted to create the video with paint and spray-paint and to have a complex, original and inventive end result. I included the full, detailed original plan in the post below. But unfortunately in the end I did not have the time or the equipment to facilitate my needs. Cheaply I did everything in flash in the end using my original walk cycle storyboard character and creating the backgrounds myself which would represent the world's changed from natural to industrial. I would've liked to have added sounds, rain, weather changing etc. to make the video more complex. I could not find the time to do any of this and I also am lacking on flash skills. Overall I'm not very pleased but also not unhappy with the end result. It could've been a lot better and it also could've been a lot worse. I cannot blame the poor result on lack of time but a number of reasons in it's lack of quality. Hopefully next time it'll be better. I am keeping hold of all of my notes, drawings and my full original plan because I would like to create the original idea in the future for maybe my BA or just as a personal project. Anyhow, I'm moderately pleased with the simplistic but good looking flash backgrounds I did. They are simple and are not well drawn instead they were quickly drawn and are not made to any brilliant standard but I think they are effective in their simplicity. In the beginning I wanted to create a man walking his dog which would've took a long time to be made to a perfect standard with well drawn walk cycles (in sync) so I used a basic character that I had drawn and looped the animation to give it the illusion that he is walking along as the background move. The character wasn't very time consuming to create or difficult even and originality isn't even apparent but I'm not unhappy with it. I quite like the moving gif image. Overall I obviously wanted the end result to have a lot of elements to it which made the plan way too complicated because it was not a complicated project. I set the bar way too high in my initial plans.
