Intro animation Completion and development


I have completed animating the intro using after effects, this took me quite a long time to finish because Im still not that great with after effects yet but finally done it and Im quite happy with the result. to Improve this scene is to adjust the speed of the water faster when its near the sheep.





Scene 2: Character walks out the old crown

I have improved the door opening using the pan tool to move the pivot point of an image to the corner and make the door open more realistically not bouncing up and down. If you look closer at the background, I have added some shades of colour to it to make it look a little 3D



Building animation using from the assets I created in the previous posts

Water Tests

My aim was to make a cartoony water coming out of the ground to represent the start of digbeth.

These are all water tests Ive done. I have done 20 water tests and Ive uploaded a few of it because most are speed tests. The ones Ive uploaded have different animation styles, drawing, more frames and different pattern flow. 












I have struggled animating this water flow. At first I have drawn the flow frame by frame and took nearly 300 frames and good thing Keanu my class mate taught me hose to use masking and it is so much easier to use and saved me half the time to animate.

i wanted to improve the patterns of the water  because its too boring if it just moves at the end of the water, Ive added the secondary action by adding flow marks to it , Ive also learned that I can make more than one composition in after effects instead of rendering all to video and takes time render.
