Progress on the Project

The story changed. I wasn't pleased with what I was able to come up with in the Amelia Bedilia like story. I moved to the dreams of a sleeping cat. It'll be a short piece but it will be a complete story which is what I want.

Having an incredibly busy end of semester, I have neglected the blog. This was the progress for November 20-26. I know that it is recommended to be in After Effects at this time, but planning these out and constructing them was a time commitment as well.

I cut out the pieces of construction paper and assembled them the to the amount of completion that I thought would work best in After Effects. For example I built the cat head separate from the body so that I could put them on different layers and animate them individually.

Here are the rough scans of the construction pieces. I'm really pleased with the look of the scans. It's cool to be able to see the grain of the paper and the shadow of the edge of the paper.

It was fun cutting these pieces out. Some of them had to have parts touched up in photoshop just to give it a little extra and have it stand out. I also cut out letters for the credits.
