Evaluation number 2.
So having just finished my second animation I feel like this one is a pretty decent improvement on the last. The introduction of multiple camera angles added a tremendous amount in that it wasn't a single jolty camera shot but instead 3 shots that I could clip and fit together with much better precision. That being said I feel my lighting was better on the first animation but unfortunately I don't have that file in my possession so I had to start from scratch.
An issue I did have was the software not playing ball when I tried to alter the anchor point whilst animating. I'm unsure of whether I didn't tick the correct boxes or whether Cinema 4D just doesn't have the capacity for that sort of alteration mid flow. Having that ability at my disposal would've been a tremendous help and I feel my animation could've benefited from it as I would be able to add another element to the clip. That's pretty much my only issue with my animation, however. I found myself able to put it all together a lot faster this time around which was useful, I suppose that means the techniques I'd used before had found their way into my brain and stuck around for a bit.
There's not too much I would change if given the chance to do this task again (please don't make me do this task again). I feel I made ample use of online tutorials when I couldn't find my own way through a problem and where even that failed I quickly made compromises.
