Reflective Statement

In Nat's animation lessons I was able to learn and understand the fundamentals of animation. This is crucial if I want to be able to animate in 3D. Each week we looked at a specific action and slowly brought all of the skills together, until I was able to do certain things without guidance. Adobe Animate was used for each of the lessons, which I had no experience with at the beginning of the year. I still feel there is so much more to learn about the software, however I now know enough in order to complete an animation with sound.
