Animation Example

This is the layout of our Adobe Flash document for one of the most complicated scenes for our animation. This scene shows the 3 characters as inflatable waving men which required us to draw frame by frame to give the illusion of swaying.
On top of this, we needed to move the mouths using keyframes to follow the movement of the balloons as well as the actual pronunciation of each syllable.

On this scene, almost everything consisted on frame by frame animation using keyframes which is why it took so long. Firstly moving the balloons by using the onion skins and drawing each individual frame gave the swaying, flipping look.
Then we drew the main features to make identifying each character possible. For example, Kovsky's moustache and tall hat, Bois' Beard and Beanie, and Paul's scratched fish bowl. After drawing them, once again we went frame by frame moving and rotating so they travelled with the balloon. This was quicker that drawing it frame by frame with the balloon.
After we made sure that the 1st frame and the last frame where very similar so they where loop-able.
On the video, we tried to show the massive amount of individual, complex keyframes within this short scene as the picture didn't express and show it enough.

Our set up and equipment consists of a Intuos or Wacom drawing tablet plugged it to a MacBook Pro laptop with software installed such as Adobe Flash and Adobe Photoshop, which both came into our project massively.
