This was briefly mentioned in Laura's last post, but as of yesterday, we have decided to produce the animation using purely 2D. We had a long discussion of the pros and cons and referred to our production schedule to see how well we were getting along, but we were stumped. It was also in the back of our minds the difficulty of green-screening the puzzle and having to photoshop all the different puzzle pieces to then be added into after effects, we felt that this was overly complicated especially after mine and Laura's conversation with Andy last week to see if he could work it out, to which his response was, 'ah, my brain feels like its melting!!!' This issue followed us around for a few days and was really getting to us as a team, especially considering the time we have left and the lateness getting started due to many reasons.
It was brought forward to me that my team would feel a lot happier with creating the entire animation in 2D and after collating everyone's ideas, i also think that this is best. It is a shame, but we can still create a great animation in 2D, proven by Laura's animatic example. A Happy Team = Great Animating :)
Ok, so for this week:
Imogen: First part of the stpp motion- child placing the family photograph in the centre of the puzzle frame.
Laura: Child placing puzzle pieces 1 and 2 (mum's head and dad's feet)
Jade: Child placing puzzle pieces 3 and 4 (kite and dad's head)
Tom: Child placing puzzle pieces 5 and 6 (mum's body/feet and 'missing piece') and boy slamming hand onto the puzzle
John: Keeping up with the good work of the rest of the 2D animation (the 2nd half- animated kite, dog, family etc)
Remember : Meeting Thursday 31st March- 10am GO1- bring all work so far so we can hopefully line test :)
