Here are some animated films which I was inspired by

http://groupblogba.blogspot.com/p/animated-films.html

............................................................................................
Our film at this stage was behind schedule,  If there were any concerns It was always my responsibility as the Director to address the issues and find ways of resolving them, I would regular have meetings with Tara and both of us would discuss any problems with the film.

We had a lack of completed animation and all felt it would not be fair to hold the entire animation of the film on just Hayley alone. We therfore decided to recruit some more animators.

Rob Bowels, James Waters and Lilly Black were the three animators we got in contact through email, all of them were in their second year and all seemed eager to be a part of this film.

This is Rob's Text that he produced for us.

Lilly was very busy and failed to produce us a run cycle.

This is the result James produced for us,

I decided to go with Rob as our new animator, his run had the most potential, I think James's also had potential, but we had divided the scenes up all ready and only had space for one more animator. We really appreciated the work they had produced and said thank you to everyone who produced the test pieces.

Animation. 

Before the animation began we sat down as a group and composed a shot list.

Tara wrote it up and attached it to an email, as usual me and Tara would discuss, the shots and then from here devise a plan.

I had problems breaking down the last scene, as for some reason my keyboard wouldn't allow me to screen print. here is the video of all the animation that I did on this film.




Overall I was proud of the animation that I produced, It could have been polished off, but it did reflect which was shown in the animatic therefore the scenes fitted with the rest of the animation.
