The Other Side - Animation sequence review

After completing the characters animation i put the eight scenes into premier pro in order to see how long my animation had become with just the character animations in place, (this is character animation with only line work, with no colour either as i didn't know if i needed to add or take away scenes at this point).

As i watched the animation i found that the characters movement and drawings weren't as rough or bad as i had initially thought, i was concerned that because i had done my animation quite quickly that the characters lines would be fluctuating all over the place. However i was told by multiple people that my characters animation was smooth and fluid, as well as shouldn't be changed which i was both very happy and relieved to hear. It was pointed out however that i should work on the length of my scenes as well as the transitions from scene to scene, this didn't necessarily mean adding completely new scenes but extending the scenes to linger after the characters animation has happened, so follow through and secondary action of plants that my weed spirit interacts with such as a rustle of grass or a twang of a branch.

There also some scenes i noticed personally i felt needed work, these being the lily pad bounce as it has a very dodgy path of bouncing and landing, and the final scene which needs a bit more extension with the characters movement and after effects to add a zoom on the hole in hedge.
