Final film update

At last the final film is completed I have certainly learnt alot with this film every shot looked at and retweaked extra scenes put in, often you need to stand back and have an untainted view, also having Pasha do the audio for me helped as again he was seeing it from a different perspective. In the end the collection of files for the film came to 44GB, but today I proudly handed over the final version for the Newport DVD and entry into competitions.



Am including an excerpt of the Film - Cut

commission

Well I was privileged to get a commission this year via the Newport website and so my introduction to the world of Freelance has commenced, sleepless nights, timescales and also the world of uploading to servers a must have for any budding animators.
The wonders of "Usendit" have been a godsend.
This method proved so successful, it was only on the day of handing the DVD over did I finally meet Bambo( the lady who commissioned the animation, Place in Me.)
The brief to complete the visuals for a script based on interviews of 3 girls that were in foster care including past and present memories, feelings.



I used three different animation styles/techniques to correspond with the present and the past and also ages of voices of the people concerned. Young girl think compositing meets fuzzyfelts, the girl talking about her past handdrawn the older girl a mix of Film stills edited in photoshop then again composited. Feedback "fast and sensitively done" and all completed in under 3 weeks.
