Evaluation.

For my final animation I chose to do a typographical animation, I stand by this decision as it was a lot of fun and I feel I achieved some interesting effects, some examples include camera shakes, falling letters, cracking letters and cracks in the floor. 

Perhaps the hardest part of my animation was figuring out how to cause damage to the floor and letters, I tried ALOT of different techniques but the one I found most effective was using the knife tool on the individual letters to show where I want the cracks to show then applying a week shatter effect that I animated to increase on impact with the floor resulting in cracks forming on the lettering. the floor proved a bit more complicated and the shatter and knife tool technique did really work I had to come up with a different solution and after much thought and stress! I came up with the idea of making a crack shape by editing a pyramid then applying a Boole to the shape and the floor then finally animating the crack shape to move towards the floor with the falling letter resulting in cracks. 

All in all i feel my animation went well I achieved what I set out to do, and I learnt ALOT! My only thought is that i should have made it a bit longer.
