Final animations for Shutterstock

Here is our completed animation show reel. All of our hard work eventually paid off and we were left with 3 beautiful short animations that each tell their own individual story in relation to the titles chosen.

Ive learnt so much from working in a group, from the importance of communicating to the harsh reality of the professional world. I have taken on board each positive and negative thing and made myself learn from the whole experience.

Main things I have learnt -

- To voice my own opinions. The collaboration was indeed a good one, working along side extremely talented individuals. But I needed to be stronger as a person a little more, and communicate what I wasn't happy with at times.

- Although collaborating is difficult, it is also extremely rewarding, and i wouldn't have been able to achieve any of the things we have if I had done this on my own.

- Communication is extremely important. Ideas take longer to form when everyone has individual approaches, but its important to meet regularly and communicate daily to work through them.

- The importance of storyboards during this particular brief helped for the other members to visualise your ideas and progress onto the next stage.

- To turn negative thoughts into valuable lessons.
