In the first class this week, the teacher reviewed our plans for the FMP project, including what we completed last semester and our future intentions. Regarding my animation storyboard, the teacher noted that the overall pacing lacks smoothness and suggested adding humorous dramatic conflicts.

For instance, suggesting at the end that the character picking up the gold might not be their accomplice, but rather a police officer, could bring a surprising twist for the audience.

I also informed the teacher that I intend to complete the animation in Maya and handle all rendering work for the project in Unreal Engine. I feel that leveraging the strengths of both software packages will allow me to achieve both smooth animation and artistic rendering effects. The teacher expressed support for my idea.
