Evaluation

Overall the project was a success, although it took a lot of time because of the different approach taken. A lot has been learned but more from errors rather than new techniques the knowledge has been increased.

Time management in this project was sustained and from the Gantt chart and story board the group new what had to be done and then could quickly allocate roles to complete the final animation. From there the creation of the aircraft carrier was completed on time but because of the university error a lot of work was lost including the group script and because there was a panic to finish the animation there was not enough time to draw up a new script.

Time management before hand in became an issue because of the rush to complete the animation and the unexpected issues that came in between some of the footage was not of good quality from 1106716.

Communication was quite an issue with the group as well because email was the primary source which not every member checked regularly in the time extension so some group members would turn up to meeting with out all the team members present moving forward with the project became difficult.

One last issue for this team would have been the time everyone was free to come in because of group members having work and other modules to complete it was difficult to get every team member in on one day so a lot of files had to be sent via email and if they were to large it would mean the other team members would not receive the right material or texture to complete an animation scene.

One good aspect about the group is that once a brief had been drawn up and an idea was set it was not changed throughout the project that lead to the consistency of all the models, this then effected the imagery in a good way that everything which was in the animation scenes belonged in the scenes.

Another good element to the group is that each member contributed to every aspect of this project from the ideas and research to the final project so all the jobs were spread evenly and fairy and each member of the group was given a role which was suited to there modelling ability.

If this project were to be conducted again the communication aspect should definitely be sorted in the beginning of the project and also communication of when every team member is available would be good so that the group can agree to changes as a team instead of half and half.
