INSTRUCTIONS
Final Project: Animated Infographics
For this project, we have chosen The History of The Video Game Pac-Man as our topic. 

Group members:
1. Tan Jia Jia
2. Dong Xinbei
3. Yong Xiao Tong
4. Sorcha Griselda
5. Tan Sing Yee

The first step is to collect data and information.

After collecting data and information, the next steps involve creating a narrative, developing concepts, ideating, storyboards, determining visual style, and selecting a colour scheme.

After completing the storyboard and assets, we proceed to create our animation.

Regarding our preliminary animation, the feedback doesn’t seem as positive as we had hoped. Our narrative doesn't match with the visuals, and the visual design is not consistent, as we have chosen a pixel art style. Therefore, we are working to revise our script and refine the pixel assets.

We are now creating a revised version of the animatic to serve as the foundation for the final animation process.

Then, we create and refine our assets using a pixel art drawing tool.

REFLECTION

My experience working on this project with my groupmate was entirely new to me, as I had never participated in an art-related group project before. Honestly, managing this kind of group project, especially an animation project, proved to be quite complicated. We found ourselves constantly sharing files back and forth to ensure everyone had the latest updates. Throughout the whole project, I learned the importance of being communicative and taking initiative.

Typically, I am more passive, so I relied on my groupmate to take the initiative in assigning me tasks. However, despite the complexities we encountered along the way, we successfully completed our project within the allotted timeframe. This experience has not only expanded my skills in animation but also taught me how to adapt in collaborative environments and the value of teamwork. Overall, it was a rewarding experience that has strengthened my ability to work effectively with others in creative endeavours.

Describe why? I think XR experience is an AR experience because it shows digital information on top of the real world without interacting with real objects. XR includes MR, but it’s broader because it also covers AR and VR. So, XR is not the same as MR, but MR is a part of XR.
