The document provides an evaluation of a title sequence created for a sci-fi series. It fits the magical tone of the series but could have included more horror elements. The sequence appropriately uses conventions like showing characters and plot without spoilers. Improvements could include animating characters from the beginning and removing visual bugs. Compared to the original proposal, it was overoptimistic on the look but kept the core elements. The creator learned to better puppeteer characters and needs to improve planning ahead.

How well does it fit with the context of the idea?
I feel like it fits the cosmic and magical feel of the series however I wish I could’ve added some extra horror elements into it as well, or maybe add some mor interesting landscapes or background items. How does your sequence use appropriate characteristics and conventions? I feel like my project works fairly well as a title sequence. It shows off the characters and plot without spoiling too much. It shows Kumoku’s excitement about the universe, Dueblo’s laziness, Jakko’s spotlight-hogging nature and Briney’s support for his robotic brother. It shows the main villain, Tobias Crossbones, without spoiling his appearance or what he’s going to do. If I were to say anything I feel like it doesn’t show enough of the plot. How could it be improved? I feel like it could have been improved if I had animated the characters in after effects (using individual parts rather than the whole artwork) from the very beginning, then I would’ve had time to animate Kumoku and Dueblo as well. I also don’t like the way the hooded Kumoku is drawn in the beginning and I also dislike the way its asset warped in animate. There’s also an outline of white dots that stays in place during Briney’s scene which really bugs me, I would’ve removed it if I knew sooner. How does it compare to your original proposal? When compared to my original proposal I feel like I may have been a bit too overly optimistic, as I wouldn’t have been able to make it look as extravagant as I wanted in the time limit we had. However, it still kept the cosmic theming and the villain being animated as a silhouette. What have you learned and what do you need to develop? I have learned how to properly puppeteer and asset warp a character without overly warping it. In terms of developing, I need to work on my ability to plan ahead, as if I thought about using individual parts to be warped, then the final product would’ve come out less rushed.
