Neverwhere

This is the final video for animation. It did not turn out at all as I wanted it to and even for the many snags im still happy enough with the outcome (well kinda). I experienced a LOT of tec problems trying to get to grips with three programmes that I was giving myself a crash course in over the past two days.(Adobe flash, premier pro and after-effects) As I have shown earlier I animated the birds and the main figure with traditional stop motion animation, then I rendered the moving parts of the backround in flash. I came to the first major problem when I tryed to render my traditional animations in flash, after much time and with advice from the tutors I eventully renderered this through After-effects. As you can see the movement is limited, I had intended to have the birds to circle, land in another scene and turn into the figure, this turned out to be too complex an idea to begin with especilly with the time constrants. All in all I really enjoyed this elective and truly have learned so much in the past two weeks not just becoming familiar with the tecnical programmes and seeing that nothing ever really goes to plan but also with the way I should approch projects from now on. Animation is somthing I would love to do in the future and im definatly going to learn all the ins and outs of the amazing After-effects.
