Production - The Beginning!

Over the Easter break, I decided to get cracking with the animation after getting the okay from Emma that we were good to go. However, once we met back up again after the easter break, it appeared there was a bit of a problem. I had begun animating before we had the finalised colour sheet, and I was under the impression that we were going with black outlines, however I soon realised that the five seconds of animation I had done for the Boar, was in the wrong colour. After Emma and I spent some time trying to figure out how this could be fixed, I decided to just create those five seconds of animation again.

This was because, I had already begun animating the new scenes in the correct colours, so I knew it wouldn't take me long to re-animate these five seconds. In the end, it only took me a couple of hours, not only to animate the five seconds but the whole of the Boar's part in this scene.

Although it was frustrating, this mistake helped me in the long run. Firstly, it reminded me how important it was to keep up communication with Emma. I do not blame Emma for this hiccup,  however I do think that it was partially due to a failure to communication between the two of us. However I believe it was mostly down to me diving in without ensuring I had all of the information.
