Instructions 

Final Project (Part 1, share a rationale of your burnout experience) 

My first ever burn-out was about 5 years ago. My parents trained me to be firm with my studies and put me in multiple curricular activities after school for credit scores. I also had to learn how to move around the house a lot to be able to clean and do other important chores, so that when I'm older I'm able to get used to it. I felt like I was being pressured in so many ways, even though in this modern generation, most people call it discipline. However, it took me a young kid, won't able to understand the world of entertainment. I didn't really know who Michael Jackson was until my friends said "O my god!?!? you don't know who MJ is??" and it made me feel embarrassed that I was not updated on these small matters. Though it is something important to know, it is important for me to experience the knowledge of the entertainment world such as boy bands and celebrities... etc. On the other hand, I never did well with my studies while being pressured as such, therefore it made me feel pressured with a bunch of work handed to me at such a young age. My head was not in the right space at all, and I had to sleep the whole day or even stare at the ceiling doing nothing. 

However it took me two years to understand where I come from, without understanding it at a young age, I will never be able to understand the ability of time management now. I'm grateful that I could take the time to learn and get disciplined at a young age.

Feedback- 

Scene 9- do not overlap the words and the monster and the first part, try to outline the sleeves (it looks weird)

Scene 2- do not overlap the character and the words 

Scene 3- same character, do not include the drawing one.

Scene 4- change your fonts and alignment.

Scene 5- fix the hugging scene (a few steps away from hugging) and change the font 

Overall is good, just minor changes. 

Side note- Nathan, pls complete your part ya. Thank you.

Reflection

I definitely enjoyed doing this part of the project it did enhance some parts of my skills in animation. I have not touched me after-effects in a very long time. So this class made me revive my knowledge of editing again. I'm very proud of what my group has achieved so far. I hope we could better animations in the future!
