Today I watched a few videos of seagulls in flight before making a super speedy frame-by-frame animation. My working process for simple frame by frame animation has become so much more streamlined during this project, by necessity. So much work, so little time.
I put the animation behind the final title and put the music underneath it. My shots were shockingly close to hitting the beats for the music, so I spent a little time shaving bits and pieces, changing clip speeds and durations, so that each presenter shot enters on a musical beat. This was a pleasant treat: I’d hoped the audio could push the visuals, and it was like Christmas.
People that see this are invariably very impressed, and I’ll allow myself enough goodwill to say that they should be. I’ve learned so much, problem solved from beginning to end, and I am utterly proud of the outcome.
