In conclusion...

After a hectic three weeks which has included a major deadline, Tyler and myself have managed to complete the final animation viewable below.

I am very happy with the outcome. It shows obvious progression from the original idea but maintains the wit and charm which make this project successful.

I have enjoyed working in a team, especially towards the end when the deadline was drawing closer as we managed to work together to be able to say, firstly, we had finished and secondly, we have designed and animated a successful project.

Final Animation 

Final week

We have spent another couple of hours in the basement this morning and we hope by the end of play today that our animation will be a highly finished and  polished version of the original idea.

Having found an entire catalogue of new images and adding in scenes and quirky elements, the idea has grown in to what will be a successful answer to the brief. Check back in a few hours to see how it all ends up!

Final animation scenes

These are the 2 main scenes from our final animation. We composed them in Photoshop using images only found online through various image based search engines. 

There is an obvious progression from the original idea and we are confident of a very successful and amusing outcome, ready to present on Thursday.

Slug emotions...

Just messing around in illustrator, I have created a series of cartoon slugs. Each slug has a different emotion using only the eyes. This shows how we can give our slug more character and emotion within the animation.

Friday 13th!

Today, Tyler and I sat in the basement suite working away on our final animation. We managed to source and treat all the visual and audio files and compiled the first 5 seconds. 

I am looking forward to the end product, as I know Tyler is also, as we have created a very interesting visual style with many elements to capture the imagination of our target audience.

We hope to have everything completed by Monday ready to show on Thursday.

Expressions

The slug character in the lil test animations seems to lacking some character so I am gonna look into expressions and obvious, simple visual representation.

This should add some life to the wee fella and hopefully progress the animation for the better and nearing completion.
