Plan for Friday's lesson

Tomorrow me and Alex will scan in the images, as we didn't get a chance to do so today. We will order each of the images properly and even create copies of some frames so that we can create loops, but they will be saved in order of animation and we will scan them as best as we can in this order as well.

For each frame we will have to:

• Cut out anything we don't want in the frame (such as pencil lines and the ground line in the first few frames).
• Make each of the backgrounds transparent, and put it onto the background layer instead.
• Colour them in in the same way each frame (so if we apply blending options or any filters in Photoshop, they will be consistent).
• Change the expression of the fish when it meets the bomb to blank, or with sparklers in its eyes.
• Import them into the Monkeyjam software (which is downloading now) to make a smooth stopmotion animation frequently so we know how it's going so that we can keep making modifications if we need to.

We also need to either make a soundtrack in Garageband, or find some copyright free music.
