Ok, so after our meeting on Wednesday and speaking to Andy, we decided that it would be best to get cracking on the 2D animation and merge it with the stop-motion at the end because by the time next Thursday's come around, it won't leave us with much time.
John, Laura and I spent all day Thursday deciding on the right approach to the 2D and also created a stop-motion test using the light boxes in GO1 to see if we were headed in the right direction and to get prepared for Thursday. I think this test worked really well and Laura will be uploading it to the blog in the next couple of days. We are also waiting to get feedback on it from Andy, though i think after a lot of thought, it may need to be a bit slower.
We set up a little system in GO1 which involved John planning out the frames, focusing on the parts that are going to be animated, then passing them on to Laura, who drew the outlines first of the rest of the image, before colouring some in, whilst I was trying to cut up plastic for the puzzle and mounting it for the stop motion test, cutting my hand along the way!!
We spent the next couple of hours testing the stop motion and continuing with our little system, with John still sketching out the key parts of the frame and Laura and I spending a gruelling process colouring the background and the parts that 'stayed the same,' which then has been continuing through the rest of this weekend!
So far so good guys and I'm really proud of my team!! Keep up the good work! I dont think we realised how monotonous colouring the layouts would be and how many packets of colouring pencils we'd go through, but we have to keep going and I'm confident that we'll suceed in this project!! :D
