Shots progress

Before I animate on animepro Ive decided to work on the harder shots which require me drawing all the aspects and animating it by hand. So here are some print screens of some more of the shots I just need to move but all the layers are there for me to animate.

Finished Holding hands shot

Because of a few shots requiring me to do it shot by shot, this was planned to be the hardest one I'd have to do. A shot which is a total of 3 seconds and 50 frames. Although because it was done in windows movie maker and going to have to remake it into sony vegas so the frame size matches the rest of the video.

 

Holding Hands shot

Im not drawing my shots in order, Im getting the most complicated shots out of the way first. The few shots that require me to draw them frame by frame take the longest to do so when they are done it should be a simple process. This is one of the most complicated shots because its a close up of two people holding hands. Which I had to get a reference video so I could draw the movements better. The two images below show the working progress with some of the layers switched on to show the progress.

Reference:

Finished first shot

19 frames per second and several hundred drawings were used

first shot

My first shot requires a different type of animation which requires me to hand draw each frame to show the characters being drawn on. I do this by using layers in photoshop and then using sony vegas 8.

I used the first 60 frames to test the first 1/4 of the first shot

second test - first 140 frames:

4th edit progress:

Sony Vegas

Because of what I'm doing, its helpful if I use multiple programs. So far Ive used:

• Photoshop CS5 & CS6
• Pro anime Studio
• Paint

But now Im having to use Sony Vegas, currently only for the first shot which requires me drawing on the characters shot by shot. So after doing the first half of the shot, heres an example of how its starting out before I adjust the timings so it fits the shot better.
