The Backgrounds!

The drawings of the backgrounds were very much a formality. I had already gathered the style of the animation through the character designs. I decided to do a sophisticated three-tone block colour style that I knew would fit perfectly with the characters. I also knew how many backgrounds I needed by reference from the animatic. I drew some shot layouts and whilst doing this I decided to change one composition. I haven’t used layouts before but they are useful because I may have decided to change the composition whilst animating and this would have been costly on time.
