Animation Improvements

After a visit from our client, a few issues within the animation were spotted. This included rather simple mistakes such as spelling and grammatical issues. They were soon rectified. Two improvements, from our lecturer, were also suggested. One suggestion was that I should add a vignette to the piece to add visual depth, this was soon applied:

I think this has definitely improve the look of the piece and help create the cutout, handmade look.

Another suggestion was that the font from the 3D 'Rabbit Hole' section also should be changed to suit the fonts in the 2D section. I have given David the fonts and he should be changing it accordingly.

Revised 'Map' for Interactive Experience

Animation Progress

The animation is almost complete. Traditional techniques were replicated using digital software, such as Adobe Flash, Photoshop and Premiere, to create the animation’s chosen design style in a short time period to a high standard. It was very important to create the piece to meet the expectations of the client in the time frame provided. Both hand drawn animation and computer ‘tweened’ animation are being used to produce the animation. I am very happy with the outcome yet it has taken longer than expected. However the animation will still be completed in plenty of time for myself to be able to animate and code the interactive section.
