Evaluation for my animation

The animation that i created was based on growth and how evolution takes it's tole on plants and how they grow. The main part I liked  about my animation was the simplicty i used, to get an idea across. i also liked the way i created the animation, using illustrator and screenshots, because it was different to how everyone else created an animation. Another great thing about the animation was the way the music i choose had a nostalgic effect to it and didnt contrast with the animation, the music was repetitive and so is the process of evolution, the same thing happeneing again and again. 

The bad points about my animation was the fact i didnt create enough, slides of images, meaning My animation couldnt fit to the time limit of 25 frames per second,  i also didn't like the colour  used on the animation untill i imported it into after effects, the colour's where just basic black and white. with no titles showing what my animation was about. I think for the next time i create an animation i will use a better use of designing my project, with more meaning and more of an abstract design. 

To start of my animation i first created the slides on illustrator, drawing each stem/twig, on a different page, then screenshooting the images, and imported them into iphoto to organise the frames, then i put them into after effects and placed a stained paper, background. this gave the animation more life, and thought. i added a bold title for the beginnging to the end. i made a shadow by bluring the image and lowering the opacity, then added my song, which gave it the final finish.
