For this project I decided to animate Humphrey, a gargoyle my mum got for the garden then felt too cruel to let him sit outside to be effected by bad weather so he always sits by the tv. I chose him because I felt that out of all my worldly possession he was most like a character I might create, in hindsight I think that actually he's a very intricate guy and probably isn't the simplest of characters to start off with. I also decided to paint my 12 frames of him, because it did say we could use any media and I'd just got some new paints, on average it took me approxiamately three hours to do each frame, and disheartens me how I don't feel like this effort and time is reflected in the final turn around. Overall I learnt from this that I would never paint intricate frames, and in the future I may think about using my time better spent like others, I know a lot of people chose symmetrical objects so they could repeat frames, I thought this was very canny. In future I think I'll approach short tasks like this with the aim of improving my animating rather than creating the best aesthetics.
