I was altogether fairly satisfied with this terms' review. Bryson and I had some major technical difficulties in the limited down time before and between reviews which meant we couldn’t display our animations for those that were not there to specifically review our work. Even if everything had been up and running, there didnt seem like there was enough time to sit through our videos anyway. Im assuming and hoping that the final show will provide more of an opportunity for this. I was pleased however that after the reviews I was able to show a previous reviewer my progress and another eager viewer my work for the first time.
A major highlight for me was having Will Vinton as one of my reviewers. He seemed somewhat impressed with my work and it was really rewarding to get his praise and criticism.
The good thing is that both fall and winter reviews have left me feeling that I am on the right path and that my work is worthwhile, but I also cant help but feel like the reviews have only contributed a minimal impact to the development of my project.
But regardless of how effective the actual review process is in itself for me, it has proven a strong motivator for developing the presentation of my work, which is the stage that I am at now. how do I package and contain the work in a way that it is accessible and coherent to outsiders? Im left thinking that it needs a title and introductory animation...
