I had a tutorial and a group crit today too. I found both helpful as in my tutorial it was pointed out that my animation needed speeding up. Before this was mentioned I had previously thought just a few sections of film needed shifting about. I used my breaks and group crit to get friends to give their opinions on how fast/slow they should be. It was suggested that I add in sounds like a bird flapping, water running ect as well as including in my idea I've had in my head for a while of the cat at the end putting its paws in the water as if trying to see/catch the fish. This idea got strong positive results and it was said that it would indeed make my video a full cycle which I have considered (not majorly, just ideas that I never wrote down). It was also mentioned adding in textures to the water scenes and details to the bird flying. I think I will probably do that tomorrow though, although in an idealistic world I ought to try get it done today.
My plan for the rest of today is to sort the video timings, continue working on the mountains and foreground as I've had issues with the image resizing on its own when I use the crop/pan tools. I am finding sony vegas to be pretty good to understand, way less confusing than flash was. Admittedly I am finding vegas to lag sometimes, such as when my laptop wakes from sleep mode. When I started making the animation on vegas I didn't know about keeping all the files together in a folder so now my desktop is bugging me as it is massively cluttered with several folders within folders for different parts of the animation an photoshop process.
