1 mins animation - BrokenDance

Storyboard
This is a story about a girl non-stopping dancing under a sad music, she dances and break into pieces and gathering it again. At the
end she falls. It is a piece of work made by photoshop, flash and affect effects. Cat is responded to the story making and made the
animatic in flash. I responded to the adjusting in photoshop and editing in after effects.
Firstly imported the videos of animatic, and key out the colour for masking. After that, adjusted the movement of each part of the
pictures and also the correction of them. Finally double check all the layers are in the correct position then rendered it to video files.
It took a long time to do it because if there is some tiny mistake in the animatic or masking, it might leading to redo some parts again.
This is a good practise to provide me more information about after effects, I understand the importance of back up all the stuff
because it had a sudden crush of the computer that makes certain parts of the editing lost.

Baa! Sheep Animation
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fwkh_ptFNso
It is a story about a sheep having problems of messy, long hair and the things it happens in salon.
I have made the animatic and colouring in flash and merge the pictures and masking in after
effects. It is a happy experience to have a chance that able to use Sheep as the topic of
animation. The long hair of sheep inspire me a question that what happen to the sheep if their
hairs too long or messy? Then it becomes the theme of this animation.
