Illusion of Life: Assessment two

Using sound in animation.

I was really excited to start this animation. We were given the task of adding sound to our work. This meant drawing animations which would match a sound clip. 

The class was given a variety of sound clips to choose from. Most of which were 11seconds long. We then had to think of an animation to go with it. 

We had 4 weeks to make our animations and they were going to be assessed on the "acting" in our animation and, of course the presentation on assessment day.

Critical studies: Sitcom Comedy vs Superhero animation

For critical studies we were asked to list generics of a genre. Below I have chosen two animations and listed why it belongs to a certain genre.
