Semester One: Done!

Magical Mischief: The Project Summary

The semester project that I've been working on had finally concluded in a timely manner. My animation, the sound effects, the music, and even credits were done in the past week and I feel proud. I believe my quality of animation has improved since Midnight Flight, and I added a story element previously missing from the previous animations beforehand. I followed the storyboards more than my previous venture, added as well as subtracted scenes that would either hinder or help the animation win the coveted Pixel at eMagine that I desire. I observed various different animation styles over the course of the semester, such as the scene of the boy's toy flying through the desk utilizing the ability to put in 3D elements in a 2D animation. I enhanced my hand-drawn elements by adding a hand-drawn background painted in photoshop, so it has more definition in both characters and backgrounds. I pt more detail into my characters as well due to the comments from last year that my characters were not that detailed or visually interesting.

What to go from here:

I hope to make another project to implement more 2D elements for another fun project like this (probably if anyone knows me, involving dragons again), maybe another short story animation. Perhaps even adding more complicated elements into it to maybe get two Pixels at the same time (like my goal I set for this year). Hopefully I can get another decent idea to try and attempt before this year ends and I can start ASAP.  The Story-Boards below are sections of what I did to animate for my project.
