A quick test I threw together in ten minutes to get used to working in layers and so on. I used MS paint for this which is why the quality isn’t so good. I think drawing into after effects will make my life a lot easier as onion-skinning in MS paint isn’t possible. I made use of the inverse eraser to colour the legs a different colour, then redrew them over the top and used the fill tool and...

Back en route to Sheffield
The next stage of my process is the production of backgrounds and surroundings. I need to make a decision about whether the surroundings and characters are in colour or black and white. The backgrounds are definitely going to be paint/ink and coloured. More images to come this coming week.

I particularly like this one. This seems really simple and effective. I am still keen on the idea of a multimedia effect combining traditional and digital methods, though.

I am going to try hand-painting the backgrounds for my animation, but if I decide they aren’t up to scratch or will be too time-consuming or something, then I thought this article could be a useful resource. I’m putting this here as much for myself to remember as for my followers. Photoshopping the backgrounds could be a faster way to produce them.

Here is my short animation from the first workshop. I had some trouble compiling it but I think it came out okay. Sorry about the creased paper, I rolled it up and now it looks lame. This is really the first thing I’ve ever animated.

A very short flickbook themed around the idea of ‘Release’. This was produced in the first workshop for this module. I took it in a literal sense of the release of tears from the human body.

I am now working with some other possibilities but ideas aren’t coming easy.

Standstill
I’ve ground to a halt and am suffering from massive creative block and so unfortunately I have ended up putting my time into other projects while trying to formulate new ideas for this. I spoke to a lecturer about my issue involving character-based animation and he advised against it but said it was up to me. It was suggested that I consider some more abstract approaches and other avenues of...
