After finishing this project I can’t lie and say I am extremely happy to be done. I think out of everything we’ve done in this class I deeply struggled with this one the most. I tried originally to start with a more heartwarming story but animation was kind of hard for me. Both in being limited to specific photos and also no matter what I created it became a horror monster. So I thought I had to completely shift the original image and make it mildly horrifying. It turned into a Christmas Carol-type beat of seeing images to scare my character into maybe being less of a mean person and message back their mom. With this project, I wish I could have had a bit more time or I could have figured out a better way to animate. I think I got stuck on one solution and had to do it until the end in an act of artistic stubbornness. In the end, I don’t think I’m really that happy with the work that I've finished. Without a doubt, I think I’ve grown greatly, especially in all these fields of digital art that I’ve truly never looked at before. I learned in the end my secret passion in life is not animation, but I’m still happy with all the skills that I’ve grown, despite the finished artwork. I think if I was to do it again I would steer away from real images so I have more freedom to control the animation.
