Artefact 1 and Evaluation

Artefact 1 This artefact was aimed at being able to interpret incidental gestures and postures that have observed and drawn. The main aim was to create a character that had a defined personality and emotions. The animation was fairly simple as all the movements were drawn in the primary research. The feedback that was found from creating this artefact was that the style of animation worked well and some people emphasized with the character. The feedback also said that the posture was well used in the animation in order to show the change in the mind of the character. The use of the fingers tapping was also appreciated by the focus group. In conclusion the artefact worked its purpose although it could be longer and more movement would have displayed more skill in production value. The next artefact should look at introducing the rest of the body, a walk cycle that shows emotion and personality, and should show some sort of interaction as this artefact was solitary and therefore personality traits could be lost.
