Screenshots

Nearly there, 4 days to go! here are a selection of screenshots from the edit, they show an overall look of the film.

End shot

The final shot is made up of lots of frames all boarded up with charaters trapped on the outside, today i photoshoped together a selection of different frames to be put together in after effects.

Aftereffects

The last two weeks have been filled with editing all the shots together i have so far, Ive been working on one edit and updating it as i go. Ive learnt lots about aftereffect, and the film is coming together quite rapidly, still im left with 2 more shots to animate and colour and then just to add some finnishing touches.

Shot 11

Im slowly colouring in my film, shot by shot. Im working on shot 11 its taking about 3 days so far to colour this shot and there are 2 more characters to colour. Once this shot is complete it will be the majority of the film,so there are about 5 more shots to colour

 

 

Fall out of market

I've been colouring each shot using TVP. I've been trying to get a water colour texture to the characters. This shot shows all the market stall owners fall out the frame with the main characters running away. I've currently have 15 of 18 shots fully animated and all others started, and coloured 7 of 18. TVP is a really nice programme, its easy to animate in and creates really nice textures. After going to a demonstration on the software last week i'm looking into buying the software to work with after uni.

Cyclotropes at Flatpack Festival

Last weekend I went up to Birmingham for Flatpack festival where I ran a workshop on 'how to make a cyclotrope. We had lots of people come in throughout the day and draw there own animations and attach them to bike wheels.
We has a camera set up with a live feed which ment we could watch the animations live as the wheel spun round. here is a compilation of some of the films that were made.
