This was extremely successful and I had a minor adjustment to my animation I had to do to completely finish it. The reaction I got for my animation was that it was funny and a good animation in terms of the illustrative style I used. It worked well and it portrayed the idea of the newsrooms perfectly. One adjustment I made was that the statistics were actually shown in word form on screen when the presenter talked about them, rather than just having them in the voice-over as they could have easily been missed and overpowered by the illustrations.
If I were to do this project again, I would work out my script first before starting the animation or do it at the same time, rather than having to cut my script short due to not having enough time on my animation timeline to fit in everything. I did feel pushed for time towards the end of the project and I wish I had come up with a firm idea earlier on in the unit, but having said that, I think I managed to develop my idea to it's fullest potential and create something that's successful and enjoyable to watch.
I would also look into using more textures and found paper for my backgrounds to give it more of a quirky style like Sara Fanelli, though I'm not sure that is really my style in this moment of time. At the moment, I feel that my style is more of a clean, crisp and illustrative one, I would like to develop this further in the future to make it more attractive and well-known.
I'm so relieved I managed to create such a successful animation and I feel like this is the route I want to take for my future career right now. Tough and time-consuming as it is, the feeling of being proud and happy about my final piece makes up for all that.
