Post-mortem:

​

The most challenging part of this animation project is to come up with a loop story that actually make sense and complete. The original idea was inspired by butterfly effect, since it's easy to become a loop: letting the result being the cause in the second round. However, the very first idea sounds more like a plot instead of a story: it lack an arc and a concept. So the main challenge was to use or change this single loop in order to build "a world" later on. The other difficulty I encountered was how to technically express what's happening in the story, especially the part when the main character accidentally spill the water when she sneezes. Fortunately, the sound effect helps. Both the process and feedback from class teach me that, beside the pacing, the sound affect also has a huge impact. For future project, I think it's beneficial to not only focus on the content but also the medium of the content. Especially when there are more than one way that could express the same idea, I would spend more time on thinking which way should I choose and why.
