Thursday was the day to do all day animation ! We went got started straight away and went onto photoshop so we could each design a part of the sequence.
This is from a series of images of the star broken on the pavement. In this sequence the star lays broken on the floor, and layla reaches her hand to get to it. While this happens text appears on the star and fades away. In each stage i had to move the hand bit by bit and save the picture in different files so that when they are together, they flow. Also the broken parts of the star move back into the star so it is repared. In each shot there are around 15-25 pictures.
Things to do:
Taranpreet is a very good artist so she was more than happy to draw our character Layla.
Here are the sketches she made: Front, left side, right side. She also made a sad face, and Laylas legs moving backwards and forwards.
Once these Drawings we done we scanned them into the computer and we were ready to go. It was important to keep the girl as simply drawn, and kept to simple colours. Hannah and taranpreet coloured in her pjs pink, purple and yellow.
While this was being done i began making the background of Layla's House where the star while fall down. The sky is dark blue with a cloud effect added and a paintbrush tool made the stars. For the house i used a box shape, painted it brown and added a few brick shapes. I got the image of a door and the stencil of a window from google images and coloured them too.This is the image.

The night before i took a picture of my window to use as Laylas bedroom window. When uploaded onto the computer Hannah coloured in the background and the curtains so that it animated, not realistic. In this picture Hannah moved the star around the page and names appear at the bottom of the frame and fade away. Shot 9 and 10.
I also used this picture for when the star reapears near the end (shot 18)and dances around Layla's head. I shut layla's eyes in a couple of frames so that when put together, she blinks.
At the end of the day we had created shots 3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,15, 16, and 18. We put the images we had onto a memory stick so we could tranfer them to the i macs. Most of the shots we had made have now been added to the movie but we still need to do shots in between. We were very pleased at what we had managed to get done and on moday we are going to continue!
