I am happy with the final outcome for this project and feel that it answers the brief, however due to time restrictions I was unable to experiment as much as I would have liked. The restriction of not being able to use images was difficult and the lines between what is classed as an image is hard to define. For example the dripping. I was unsure as to wether it out count as an image because it is technically the dot on the letter 'I'.
The parts of this project that I think went well are the effects and style of the animation. Having tried using stop motion this would not have been an appropriate style for this project. This is because it is not as clean cut and I feel it would have confused the narrative. However there are some parts of the project that I don't think worked, for example some of the sound effects. It was hard to show the dog licking the hand which is a key element in this narrative, and maybe adding some text to this sound effect may have helped to further show what was happening. I would like to revisit this project in the future and maybe try to show a different narrative as this allowed me to really focus more on the sound effects and other aspects that are usually secondary in my animations.

Initially I began making an animation that showed all of the key points in the story with a few extras. However after watching it back, I decided that because of the length and pieces of information that weren't vital to the story it became confusing and unclear what was going in. I then decided to cut it down so only the key information was shown. This then led to a shorter animation that I feel is a better representation of the story. To work out which style of animation I am going to use for this project I needed to try a few techniques / styles of animation to see which is the most fitting.
The techniques that I tries were to use stop motion and to digitally make the animation. I think that the latter is the most appropriate as it it clear and looks cleaner. This method also allows me the most control over the output that I create.
