Today I had to present my "finished" animation. It's almost there, enough for the presentation and I got some feedback. I need to add shadows to place the character more in the scene. It was also suggested that I make the lobster king more angry and show the rock that he throws maybe on the castle somewhere- destroying part of it. I also need to sort out my characters feet in the first scene as they dance around a bit, but I knew that already. The sound also needs to be adjusted and toned down a little in parts. Everyone in my class agreed that the emotions and expressions were well done as was the weighting of the second rock. If I had the time I would go back and reference more movements to get a more realistic movement in the characters.
My story is about a boy who is playing by the water, throwing stones in and for some reason the water spits back so the boy goes to investigate and finds a surprise hidden under the surface.

I am a 22 year old Animation student at Leeds College of Art, specialising in Stop Motion Animation and Puppet making. I hope to make it into the stop motion industry making puppets.
