Skills Audit

Good:

  • After Effects knowledge
  • Drawing
  • Animation principles
  • character design
  • Photoshop/Illustrator
  • Identifying target audiences

Improvement needed on:

  • Maya Skills (modelling, lighting, texturing and camera movements)
  • Expressions in After Effects
  • Advanced After Effects skills
  • Directing productions, post production
  • organization skills, keeping to deadlines

Summary on skills to be improved upon:

Maya- I had basic knowledge of Maya however over the last month i have been completing tutorials on a daily basis however i want to be totally confident in Maya so that I can create anything and so that my skills won't restrict me to what i can create for final projects.

Expressions in After Effects- After Effects is the program i feel most comfortable in using and i think i have great knowledge of it however i want to know and understand expressions which will help me to get better results and work quicker.

Advanced After Effects skills- Here i want to learn more about special effects and also look into merging 3D, live footage and 2D through After Effects.

Directing Productions- For this section i want to learn more on how to produce and direct animations/productions in a interesting and exciting way.

Organization skills, keeping to deadlines- This is easier said then done but i have to learn to break the projects into sections and give myself deadlines on parts of projects so that i don't spend too much time on one area and not leaving myself enough time for other parts.
