Critique was fabulous and I'm surprised by the quality of work everyone presented, considering for most of us it was our first attempt at stop-motion animation or anything remotely similar. From watching other groups' videos that if I had the chance to edit mine, I'd include intro and end credits the way Tara and Tatyana did in theirs which made it feel significantly more complete and polished. Everyone's comments on the options for sound effects were incredibly helpful and it honestly makes me want to keep working on the project and incorporate all of their tips. I feel like everyone contributes plenty of beneficial, well thought through suggestions whenever we comment on each others' work.
I figured out, though, that Dropbox is the cause of quality loss in our images which a couple of us had issues with. I talked to my brother about it and he said it would be best to save the images as PNGs so the information isn't lost during the transferring process, which I'm sure will help next time around.
So knowing that, I'd love to rescan the images on my own scanner (which is now happily working and is somehow better than the ones the school provides) and retelling the story with the inclusion of beginning and end credits, mild sound effects, and suitable background music. It might have been hard, but I was having a pretty good time drawing everything out and am sure I would have enjoyed it even more if I'd had more time to dedicate to it.
