In this assignment, the student is required to study the phenakistoscope, which an old style of animation. The topic of our design is supposed to be based around our previously used endangered animal and the animal is supposed to evoke movement. Being my first time making this form of animation, I can say it was difficult, but I was able to achieve at least some form of movement within the endangered animal. However, what lacks in this design is the overall composition and execution of the animation. What could work a lot better in the composition is the lack of assets being featured in the design. As for the design itself, the eyes are meant to represent a snow tiger, which is one of the many threats of the red panda. As for the red panda itself, I wanted to show a top view of the red panda which is meant to evoke curiosity as it looks towards the snow tiger’s wandering eye. The bamboo in the outermost rim of the composition is meant to evoke security towards the red panda which is wandering outwards from the bamboo and into the threat.
