My Project I chose to make a short hand drawn animation Description- video about a baby's first ultrasound In honor of my cousin who recently was pregnant Because- To show that hand drawn animations not a dead art form Project Hours: 43 Hours 19 Minutes

Problems/Solutions Problems- Align pictures, proportionate Digitally scanning them Time Strained with moving How I Solved Them- See through paper Take pictures with my phone Organizing my time

Help and Advice Help/Advice- William V. Nichols How they helped- Design Space to work Offer ideas Helped grow my abilities

Time Invested Total Hours: 43 Hours 19 Minutes  - Which is 28 Hours and 19 Minutes extra Reason: because hand drawn animation requires that you draw every scene and every movement frame by frame  - Also drawings must all line up or your have to start over 

Future Applications Learned- Animation takes longer than I thought More drawing than originally anticipated New respect for all animators Worth it Applications to Future- Despite the time, I would not mind keeping this as at least a hobbie as well as painting

Disadvantage Change What I would change- Disadvantage- Schedule time better around moving Disadvantage- use better camera to get pictures Maybe add some frames to the animation if the time allowed Disadvantage

ADVICE Advice Advice to others- Start your project early Plan plenty of time Don’t procrastinate Set due dates for yourself

Key Points Conclusion Review Main Points- Overall Fun project Keep this and painting as a hobby Hand-drawn & Stop motion animation are still viable I made this animation as a testament to that and to my cousin My Thanks
