Final Animation

My final cel animation is one which I am very pleased with.
Although it is not in colour, I think that the content is very good, with an unusual storyline.
I think that in some short parts, the animation appears to be too fast, however, the rest of the animation timings, I am extremely pleased with.

The characters appear to be life like with realistic movements, which is something that I was hoping to achieve.
I have tried to add exaggerated expressions to my characters in order to convey the emotions of the characters, and I feel that this has been done well.

If I was to do this animation again, or continue with it further, I would spend another few months adding the rest of the colour to it, as I think that this is one thing that would perhaps improve the overall look of the animation.

Overall though, I am pleased with how this cel animation has turned out, and through doing this, I have found something which I enjoy very much!

Colour Process too long

After spending what seemed like a lifetime trying to colour in my animation frame by frame, I am still only around 8 seconds into my animation!


Each individual frame takes around 1.5 hours to add colour in each separate shade/tone and outline with black. So, for my animation this would take approximately 450 hours!

It is a shame that this process is too long for this particular short project, as I think that the colour gives the animation a different dimension, and adds to its overall character.

I have, however, rendered the part complete coloured composition, and made this into a movie.
