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.
