Professional Project Review

This animation was of Mike and Sulley from Monsters inc. It was about how Mike got a new car and he was showing it off to Sulley before going to work. The story was that Mike got a new car and was wanting to show off to Sulley all of it's new features, but he didn't really know how it worked. This was told by Mike not knowing which buttons to press either towards the end of the video. I really like how the animators made the pair interact so well with each other. The way they made Mike and Sulley interact with one another clearly gave the impression that they had been friends for a very long time. I would like to put that into one of my animations someday. One thing that I noticed straight away was that their shadows always were following them. If they had a shadow, it was mimicking their every move. With the worm animation I am creating, I also learned how to create a shadow for my worm. I felt the creators did a very good job on character interaction. The two characters played off one another and the whole animation went very smoothly. However I feel that they maybe could have given the cars control panel more screen time, as we were only given a brief glance at what it actually looked like. Overall I thought that this was a really well made animation and I really enjoyed it.
