Animation Final Project

Right from the start, I had a pretty clear idea what I wanted to do with my project, and those ideas stayed constant for the entirety of the time. My plot line was going to be how food is so good that it transcends you to a different universe. I definitely had some complex ideas that could have been awesome to incorporate animation-wise. However, with the limited time and experience that I have, I decided to go simple. I would have liked to play around with the puppet tool more, but I kept on getting weird/noodle movements that kind of ruined the animation. So, I stuck with moving my characters around more and messing with the opacity and scale. I did most of my work in Photoshop, where I cut and pasted different images to create the astronaut giraffe.

I would have liked to incorporate more real-life videos because I realized near the end that I had very limited footage. I did have to film in a public place which was part of the reason that that aspect did not go as well as I would have liked. But if I were to do the project again, I would do it in my apartment and shoot different angles so that it would look more cinematic. For the opening introduction, I would have liked the words to have crossed the screen slower. I did not have much audio, so that is why it went so fast, but if I had found an audio that was longer, then that would have easily fixed the problem. Overall, I do like the chaotic assembly of this video, and it turned out better than I expected.
