School Diary 09/12/09 (and the week before)

Over the last few days we have been creating the frames which will go into our animation, and finally we have finished and they are ready to be scanned into the laptops in order to be edited in photoshop.

To create our animation so far, we have drawn the characters onto tracing paper. At first we included all of the scene on each frame, but then we realised that we could put them in photoshop or final cut and animate a scene into it.

To make it quicker, I drew the characters roughly and Alex went over them in black pen. We were careful not to leave too many gaps. This way it's easier to colour in later digitally.

The new storyline is: The fish character is swimming along, meets a few others and copies their expressions. Then it meets a bomb and tries to copy it but it explodes and he dies. This is to show the message that it's a risk to copy everyone else because some people might make you a bad person, and could hurt you.
