Creating My Animation!

Creating my animation over the past few weeks has been time consuming fun and a little stressful. Using
I-stop motion to capture my sequence of my animation has been very time consuming as I had to click every tiny movement I made. There were parts I needed a little help as it was difficult t manage two things at once. For instance I had to hold my fairy in the air and move her very slowly across the screen to make it look like she's flying and click the capture button at the same time and doing this at the same time was a little difficult.

Once I finished filming it felt such a relief to get it done, all I had to do now was to put it together using a format called 'After effects adobe' and add some sound to finish it off.

However I came to some problems!!

I found that the LED light that I used for the relay torch was attached to a battery with a long piece of wire and I didn't realize how in the way the piece of wire was throughout mostly every scene I have filmed. I was unhappy with this feature so I tried to get rid of it by using a format called photo shop to rub the wire out,using the rubber tool and if I couldn't rub out important parts I then had to use the clone tool to get rid of it. I found this also very time consuming and needed a lot of effort because of this I decided to re-film some of my scenes, as I found this was just much easier to do.

I then had to add sound to my animation once all the fiddling and manoeuvring of the scenes was put together. I also added some written sequences that were put in-between scenes to tell more of the story, these were produced throughout the format Photoshop.
I couldn't decide on two songs which I thought both went well with my animation and they are;
Keane - Spiralling
Duffy - stepping stones

At the end I chose the song 'spiralling' as I felt it had more of an up beat and umph!!
