For my 502 video last year, I tried creating an avatar throughout to make it more interesting, but I think my visuals were still a little lacking and didn't contain much visible work. This year I wanted to combine the avatar idea and work by making a narrative of the year. I designed a mini me called Arrow, which is what some of my friends call me, as well as the start of my main username publicly. Anywhere that I couldn't particularly think of work to put in, I put in a (what I think is) funny skit. I did this all in a youtuber animatic style to make this easier for me, but it still took some time - which I do regret a little. But I am pleased with how this one looks compared to last year. I am glad I could carry over colour themes from my advertising in to the backgrounds and the props.
I do need to improve on my animatics and I think this was a good exercise in that.
Unfortunately I think that the 'quality over quantity' aspect of my talk might have backfired in the video itself 😂 But now I know that this much work might have been overbearing and not to do this next year - especially with the documentary deadline up and coming.
To improve, I would make my soft skills/hard skills a little more clear. Talking about being a shoulder for other people is definitely my main skill, but outlining that would be good.
