2D Animation

The scope of the project was having a story that flowed and had a beginning,middle and end. The concept of my project was the mountain lion with the little party hat. It was traveling and looking for a way home. I drew the lion myself pretty proud of that because I am not a artist and it turned out better than I thought it would. My background is kind of just colored in on Photoshop but fits the story. I learned from this experience that you need to have a well thought out plan and idea before you start anything. I also got a better understanding of how to make a walk cycle and how to use the mask tool along with it. I would not use a background scene because it just caused a lot of pain with the key frames and the walk cycle for the lion didn't look right. I would probably keep my lion because he is cute and change how he walks. I am not the best artist but I would try my hardest and draw out some of the background if it turned out good. I didn't think my project was the best I could do and I am still getting use to the programs and i just need to work harder on them in class and dedicate time for it.

What I Learned: I learned how to line it up with the beat and make the audio sound good. I also learned that to cut out of shots you don't need. We had a lot of walking shots and I cut out a lot of those to get the real point of the video.

How I Can Apply It To My Next Project: I can work on making sure there isn't to many walking shots and really work with getting the beat. I can also make sure you aren't looking at a shot longer and cut it down. Cutting down can help but making sure you don't cut out to much. Get the important stuff and just represent that and not have shots that aren't important.

Did I Like It Better: I liked it a whole lot better because looking at my other video it didn't make sense. To much walking around and it didn't really capture it what the main point. I liked going back and color correcting things back in. I did a different story then most of the people in my group and I think it captures it a lot better.
