Sting; Colour Animation Tests

Colour Test 1 from Jazz Harbord on Vimeo.

TEST 1

To get a better idea of what my final sting may look like I decided to quickly draw up a digital version of the sting in full colour to make sure  the pacing // size ect all worked together. In this first attempt the pacing at the start of the film was far too fast compared with the slow movements of the rest of the animation, however it was nice to get a better idea of what the final sting was moving towards!

TEST 2

With this testing I fixed the initial pacing problem at the start of the video! However some of the elements still needed editing in size so that they wouldn't cut off an seem too small // not fill the frame while they were being animated

TEST 3

This final version saw amendments mainly to the original photoshop document and size of the layers within it. I copied and reflected the tree layer to make it longer to allow for the transactions it goes though to take place without it being cut off. At this point I'm happy with where my animation is in terms of scaling, movement and timing!

MUSIC

Still the music search continues through the black hole of royalty free music. Though I'm tempted to use a track from my earlier discovered Murakami playlist, I would like to use something royalty free so my finished sting feels like it could stand on it's own two feet!
