Description Edit: Argh, the timing was completely off in the first version I uploaded. DX After some painstaking editing, I've finally synced it up. Now I think it's finally done.

Note: The file size is very large because it has audio something like a few hundred scanned pictures in it, so this might take a while to load. I may try resizing it again, but I'm not really in a hurry to (takes up most of a day to do that). Sorry and thanks for your patience.

With the run of the show officially over, here is the animation that I did for the prologue sequence. We used a projector and large screen (which was thankfully very quiet when it rose back up) already installed in our theater/auditorium. It stayed paused on the first screen (which was projected on the red curtain) until the show was officially ready to start. I also had to plug in a simple looping black screen at the end because when couldn't stop it or turn off the projector without Windows or a "Are you ready to shut down?" window popping up.

The audio in this is from the Broadway soundtrack (which is what I used to timing and in no way own), but for the run of the show a live orchestra played and one of the actors did the narration. Also, the beginning picture is not my own. It's the official Disney logo for the musical (with a rose picture added in the background) that we got the rights to use along with the rights to perform the show. Many productions use a gobo (think spotlight stencil ) and shine it on the curtain while the audience is getting seated at the start. This image shined on the curtain worked in about the same way.

I went for a sketchy look since one of the directors saw a very cartoony version done for another production and hated it. Hope you like it.

That is absolutely brilliant! You did a really good job! The sketchy look makes the small bits of color stand out all the more.

Your hard work definitely shows!

Thanks. It's too bad you guys didn't come to see the show. You could have seen this on the big screen and the wolfie puppets.

I'm just so glad that it's done (though I still have the occasional urge to edit some parts). Also, I don't know if I told you but another school is interested in using it for their production! Yay for more exposure! Makes me want to edit it more, though.
