Animating!

All the preproduction work was complete and it was time to animate. I initially contemplated between doing the animation either on the lightbox or Adobe Flash. I felt more confident drawing the characters freehand so thought that the lightbox would be best, but after considering style, I thought that the line achieved with Flash would suit the project. I have also never used Flash for a project like this so thought it would be good practice. Whilst using Flash I learnt new techniques and processes such as symbols. This made the animation process much more simple and added a smooth feel to the animation. I drew all the animation without any colour and then filled it in when the animation was complete. I thought this way it would be easier to change the animation if needed.
