The Process:
My story animation was meant to be a chase scene animation that included clowns since they were a big thing when I started. When making this project I started by doing a story plan and story board. Then I made the forest, graveyard, and house backgrounds. After that I had to make my characters. Once I had them done i put everything into after effects. When I got everything in after effects I started to add the walk cycles for both of my characters and setting up the timing. Then I rendered it out and turned it in.
What I Learned:
While making this project I learned more about how to make a good story and the parts of a story. I also learned how to make better multiplanes and how to use the puppet pen tool. How to put different compositions from after effects into one comp. to make a story.
Final Thoughts:
Something I would change if i could do it again is make the walk cycles cleaner and make sure their feet aren't sliding. Something that I thought I did well on was making the backgrounds. I thought my backgrounds were clear and were good for the video. One experience I will use from this project on other projects is being put on a deadline and being expected to have a good clean project finished by the due date.
