The biggest thing that I learned from watching the three op doc videos was that all of our animated projects will be different and that’s okay. We saw a faced paced and slow paced videos that were animated in completely different ways. Each of these videos were organized and put together in a way that best fit that particular story. I think that’s what I am going to have to work on. If I can read over my script a few times and get an understanding of how I think my animation should be put together, I think that everything will come together.
One of my favorite things about college is that being different is not just accepted but encouraged. In high school we were taught that we needed to do the same basic things when it came to writing which results in a plethora of similar papers. In college our instructors want us to think outside of the box and create something unique to us. Seeing the creators of these Op-Docs basically convey the same messages but doing so incompletely different ways was a good example of being different.
