I thought that this has been the most interesting and productive project I have done. It have been interested in it all the way through. Mainly because 3D modelling and animating is something I enjoy! I am also very happy with my final animation movie. I have come up with a really good story board which includes an old film called 'First of the few' and with that added some of my animation of a spitfire, it also shows the contrast of old and new, with a very old black and white film with a very modern updated animation. However I also really enjoyed building the model Spitfire. Building the spitfire really taught me some of the history of the plane, but also learning how it was built, understanding the shapes, curves of the plane.

I did receive a comment on the plane when it was being textured.

"There are a few bits that are noticeably "off". The wings are looking very thick for starters."

However I thought I was too far in development to go back and fix this issue, my time is limited. Though i did notice another problem that the tail was dipping down. I fixed this so it was straight.

Though there are some bad points. One is the resolution of the 'First of the few' film. Sadly I couldn't find a high resolution version of the film, they were all limited to this size. I wanted my animation movie to be 1280x720. I didn't want to scale the 'First of the few' footage bigger as it would become very distorted and pixelated. The film is already damaged as it is now with hairs, marks and scratches on it. So I've had to keep the film footage the same size and the animation footage the same. I could of made the animation footage smaller, but then the video would be to small and I wouldn't be happy with it. However keeping this in mind, I could have made the animation footage black and white and make the animation look old, like the film. Keeping the same stlye.
