After handing in another module today, our tutor put together every animation that was submitted into one showreel to be screened in the college's lecture theatre. This was an interesting experience, since I have never shown my work on a big screen in this fashion before (aside from our end of year exhibition last year) to sit and watch them all together and invite others to join us.
Unfortunately some of us in the class, including my team, weren't able to finish our animations on time. This is a real shame because they all had potential to be good pieces of work, and since it was our first screening together it would have felt better if everyone's work was finished.
Despite this, we advertised the screening via posters around college and a last minute Facebook event, so s few people came from various courses such as Illustration, and some that others in my class had invited from outside of the university. They didn't have much to say, but applauded at the end of every piece, so I'll take this as a good sign.
It would be good practice for us to have regular screenings of our work; the next will be at the universities end of year exhibition in the middle of June, but if we put our work together at the end of every module and invite people to see it and give feedback then that's yet another way to improve upon ourselves and take into consideration for the next round of work. Having regular screenings would also motivate me to manage my time better during the year, so that I actually have finished pieces to show.
