Antony's Production

Today was Antony's production, I was set down to be helping him do the animation as his assistant but due to previous weeks we had to come to an agreement where Ellen was the assistant and I was the camera person.

Being apart of Antony's group was good it was laid back and he was not telling us to do things he asked us for our opinions and made sure we was happy with what was happening within the production.

Towards the end of the production when Antony had nearly finished he asked if we had any other ideas that we could put into the animation, I think this was a really good thing to do because it allowed me to connect with the animation more and because its a suggestion you can all expand and come up with a better idea. we ended up doing two more scenes to the animation that had a really good ending.

Some problems that occurred were ones such as the camera, when we first started shooting the camera took only 3 images then stopped working, after looking at it we realized it was full and this meant we had to delete all the images of the camera before we could start production again, I think this was a simple mistake and we will all learn from it next time.

Some other problems were when the characters moved out of shot the camera always needed changing from different focusing settings.

I think I worked well within the team I tried to be helpful and come up with good ideas to make the animation better, I think i achieved a lot by being on the camera because I have not used one properly before and I learnt the basics in the experience of the production.
