Documented Evidence
Your documented evidence is like a diary. You start it when you first start making your design and it doesn't end till you have finished making your product. Takes lots of photos, make notes on any

Summary of interviewI only do a short interview and there is only two questions
because i just wanna know what kind of cartoon characters they like. Now, I know that the boys like cars and the girls like barbie.
However, I think i won’t use the cartoon characters to be the character in my animation. I’m just going to use the plain
characters.

Case-study summaryFrom the case-study, I realize that this clay animation is mostly for kids. The duration of
each animation is only about 2 minutes long. Both simple and colorful animation is
interesting to watch. However, I think that the colorful animation is better. All animation is
difficult to make.
