Evaluation

I am quite pleased with the end result. I have followed the brief and produced a thirty second trailer for Casino Royale. I feel that I could have produced a better piece if I had had longer on the project. I had to make the decision to not include the scene when the Aston Martin crashed as I needed to experiment more with reactor to get the required effect. I found producing the bar scene animation a lot more enjoyable than the car scene and found using reactor very interesting. I enjoyed the modeling side of the assignment much more than the animation and felt that picked it up quite quickly.

I found that it was the little details that seemed to take a long time setting up, for example the lighting and selecting materials to use the scenes. I found that whatever I tried to do in 3ds max took much longer than I anticipated. In future I will try and set myself more realistic goals and work harder to manage my time. I think I underestimated the time required to render and edit the the final production. I have learned a lot of useful modeling and animation techniques in this module and have enjoyed working to the brief.
