Making of Little Witch Academia Response

General Experiences (Experiences you've experienced):

• Think you got it right, but someone points out the flaws
• gotta make those revisions
• Realization that it could be better, but you have more work
• the feeling of anguish
• the feeling that you aren't doing anything right
• position and perspective being off
• continuation errors
• critique and feedback
• viewing the finished product as if it was worth while

New Experiences (Things to think about):

• Sharing the same work space (can't work at home)
• Animators fix their own issue
• work as a group
• gotta do everything
• camera plots! (actually, this is a newly learned skill from another class, but it's cool seeing it being applied to animation)
• photograph scenery to get a better grasp of composition
• show layouts to show movement
• finish early, help your team members out
• storyboard transfer to animation (hard to translate)
• traditional animation trick
• if spacing is off, cut the upper portion with a clean swipe and move it. Then tape the top
• INCORPORATE IDEAS, DON'T ABANDON
• finding actors (qualifications and such)

Technique/Process (stages of process):

• Draw on storyboard for the flow of story
• See the actual flow instead of on separate people
• Go towards everyone's strength
• Poster paint 
• painting an environment scene with common items 
• Firm grasp of position to make it believable
• Not everything will follow the schedules
• Background fully done, but animations not colored, they're colored in white to see the motion
• Inbetween checker!
• make sure not to miss anything
• Never see it until it's processed
• This process involved the audio being done after the animation has been worked on.
