Book animation

I have now completed my book animation. It's of a bird walking, he notices a puddle, flaps his wings and walks over towards it. Suddenly, a crate with a strange cloud man comes and ponks him on the head, so he falls in.

I would have liked to have added a few more frames in at the end, to show the bird sinking right through the puddle, and the cloud man coming out of the box, then lots of him appearing and there being a huge army of cloud men marching across the screen. This is because the theme was to go for a surrealist look, and I feel that perhaps mine could have been more surreal. However, I do like how I made the bird walk, but it would have been easier to make a walk cycle for it and a cycle for the puddle as it took a long time to shade in.

In future, I think I will scan in my photos as I go along if I go for this style again, so that I can add colour as I go along and can also create loops to save time.
