Production at its finest.

Once all of my rotoscoping was done, I focused solidly on getting all of the colour in there. My colour scheme is black and white, because I think that will make the animation that bit more creepy. I deliberately made my rotoscoping quite shaky because other students thought it looked quite "trippy" but this did mean that I had to individually colour each frame.

Happy accidents!

At first I did panic because I didn't think I had left enough time to get all of the colouring done, so this did mean that I rushed the shading slightly, however this turned out to work quite well. It meant that the colouring which I did was also quite shaky and it moved with the outlines, I think the lack of consistency and the fact that the lines are constantly moving makes it look very edgy, and other students did tell me that it made them feel uneasy, especially with the audio.

When it came to the point of putting all of my separate documents together, the best way for me to go about it was to export each piece of footage as an image sequence and that way I could open them all in after effects in the correct order. This was actually so much easier than I thought it was going to be, and I actually managed to get ahead of myself by a day!

After Effects proved to be the most suitable piece of software for me to use for this bit because it enabled me to fade the credits, and some other parts in gradually. I think if I had tried to do this in Photoshop I would have gone bit mad.
