Classical Element// Starting the animation process

I've decided to animate this project by hand, animating and then colouring. Partly because I really enjoy animating by hand and partly because I don't have accessed to a computer (very easily) over the Christmas holidays.   I would of liked to experiment with Photoshop animation more in this project, but the deadline doesn't allow me to. But I will have to piece together backgrounds and 'actual' animation on Photoshop, a day before the deadline and also a day after I come back from the Christmas holiday break.

  • To save time I'm not going to draw out each frame in pencil then go over with a fine liner, I'm going to draw straight down onto paper with ink and animate with a pen.
  • I'm going to colour each frame by hand, with coloured pencils.
  • I'm going to ask father Christmas for a scanner for Christmas so I can scan frames in before the deadline. And hopefully finish on time.
