lauan503weekly- 9th week

Week 9 

I chose to animate on photoshop so I could take the work home and so i did not have to complete the animation all in the university. I started by adding the right background to each scene. By adding the background first I would know where the action would take place in every scene. Before starting any of the animations, I watched the animatic to get an idea of how long each scene that i was animating needed to be so the animation stuck to the time limits. After I knew how long the scene was, I would plan out the key frame before doing the in-between frames of the rough animation copy. Once the rough animation was complete and I was happy with the outcome, I put the final outline over the rough animation copy and added the final colour by following the character design sheets. 

After three weeks and slightly over the Christmas break, all the animation that was given to me was completed. I struggled mostly with the scene of the sloth getting the swans attention. I struggled the most with this scene because I need to improve my timing on the sequence. I did my animation in 24 frames per second and put key frames every 6 frames to help me with the movement of the sloth as he comes down from the trees. The animated sequence I enjoyed doing the most was the sloth helping the bear wash with the leaf. I enjoyed this animation sequence the most because even when I struggled with the arm movements, I used my friends to film a reference video of them moving their arm to help me animate.
