Sleeping Bear final


What I like: 
  • I think that this is my favourite gif that I have made so far! 
  • I think that the textures are really visually interesting and eye-catching, they work well to mimic the bears fur and almost creating this earthy/natural aesthetic to the gif? 
  • The monotone also suits the calm/sleepy tone of the gif. 
  • Im glad I decided to do grass and leaves rather than a log to rest the bears head on - I think this puts focus on the bear whether before there were too many textures and the head and the log were merging into one...
  • I think compositionally the gif works really well, its really simply yet still takes up all of the frame. Unlike the cactus gif I don'ts think that the viewer gets distracted, the focus is most definitely on the bear. 
  • I think that the timings work really well to create this sleepy atmosphere to the gif. I also think that adding in the bear opening his eye and looking at the bear - draws attention to this little interaction and adds to the sleepiness of his character. 
Problems:
  • Currently I feel the need to constantly be pushing myself and trying new things. I feel like with this gif I have resorted back to old habits of using textures and assembling them on photoshop. I like it but...its what I did for the whole of the last brief so I feel like I should be trying something new. 
  • I wish that the bee did not have so far to go after resting on the bears nose, maybe I should have cropped this further - but I think that this may have been too zoomed in and there would have been too much going on within one space?
