Reflection for Project 2

My animation has many flaws and I would say that it is 70% successful. I failed to do my slow-in and out at the part where the robot spins smoothly and the result was not smooth and a different effect from what I wanted. I think I did not apply many animation principles to make it a good animation clip like anticipation and my stretch for the robot magnet when the robot was spinning was not visible as the robot was spinning too fast and the effect is easily missed when watching the video. I also failed to hide the arm control even though I break connection for the visibility as if I hide it the cargo box I parent to it will be invisible all the time. I am able to get mainly what I wanted except for the slow-in and out mentioned earlier.

Robot and Storyboard

Name
The robot's name is Cranbo.

Cranbo's thoughts
Ahh, life is easy. Just stacking the same box over and over again. No need to think so much. Such a straightforward job. And I'm doing what I am made for! Fulfilling my purpose brings such a rewarding feeling! This is the life!
