Animation

My role was to animate the intro scene 1 and Scene 2 

Fig 3.1 Animating the Intro

For the intro it was hard to animate the hail storm as I animated it slanting instead of straight down unto his head, the feedback received was that it wasn't smooth so I worked to amend it 

Fig 3.2 Animating scene 1 

Scene 1's animation was more straight forward as I now used to the tools after struggling with it while animating the intro.

Fig 3.3 Animating the text scene 2

For scene 2 I animated the text playing around with the opacity tool under Transform so when it's played it fades into the scene.

Fig 3.4 Also using the Opacity tool

I also used the opacity for the Fun facts and also the position tool to move the ball and the hailstorm.

Fig 3.5 Placing the Hail on the scale.

For the scale, I faded it into the scene with the opacity tool also majority for the scene 2 tools that were mostly used were the Opacity and Position tool.

REFLECTION
During this final project, it has sharpened my work ethic and skill in After effects and working within a group has been vital for getting feedback from each member of the group. And communication has been key in the final project dividing the workflow to ensure it's fast and efficient.
