Reflections

What I found when going throughout this process is that I need to practice more on my perspective. I also need to visualize the piece in more dynamic angles. I think it would also be helpful for me if I added more detail to my sketches so that I would be able to work on the final pieces easier. I find that I tend to stick to very simple compositions, so I would like to work on that further as well. For the video editing, I would need to practice on how to create a more natural animation of the elements.
