The interim crit as per usual was incrediably helpful, it helped underline floors in our work we had not noticed or where unsure how to fix. The biggest problem we did not consider was a motive for the spider to jump of the tree, its quite a big issue for the viewer as its more likely to lose them on the narrative. A good solution to a problem given by ollie and sara was using a falling apple in the establishing shot as the motive for the spider. We would also get rid of the person which would save us quite a lot of work. This should help the animations narrative come across much better. It was very nice for the humor to come across in the animation and the visual style was generally well recieved. The colour pallete was causing some issues as we found it hard to pin down a pallete however it was suggested that we pick an exhisting piece of work and use their pallete for our project.
Other things were more technical rather than creative such as using an IK spline for the rigging on the worm and playing with the lighting direction on the scenes.
Overall was all very positive and only small tweaks to story and design is needed so we should be able to start production very soon.
