Description
Won me Best in Show at my Senior Art Exhibition
deviantArt is sometimes a little weird when it comes to playing this, so I apologize in advance if the music is out of sync with the animation. If it is (which will be obvious, I think), I recommend viewing elsewhere, selecting download on the right, or letting the video cycle once over before watching. This is the highest resolution version I have online.

Here's the animation I worked on all fall semester 2011. It's an excerpt from the fourth chapter of my fantasy novel series.
This isn't the ending I had in mind; the original ending was a lot more complicated and definitely longer. With my time limit, though, definitely not feasible. My teacher liked this ending, so I'm fine with it.
There are a million things wrong with it, I know; please don't point them out to me.
I'm much better at animation than I was before, but I just don't have the time to fix the problems right now. Maybe I will later.After Effects Animation
Music: "Mausam and Escape" by A.R. Rahman

Awesome job! If you're much better than you were at the time you made your new animations must be amazing. I like how you transitioned from the cutout style to more traditional hand drawn frames.

Whoa..... That's soooo neat!! I'd ask how you did it but.... I'd know it's waaaaaaaaaaaay more than I can do. By the way.... How did you get that 3D-ish look at the first scene of the guy turning to view the monster?

Thanks!
I painted the key frames in Photoshop and then tweened them with a basic morph in After Effects

really like your choice of music- its transition between styles (harp to sitar to a harder style) parallels the changes in settings/character's knowledge well
i also like the small details you incorporated, like the changing eye color, waving hair, and reflection in the door handles
