Description This is my second year animation that I produced at the University of Hertfordshire, England. It follows the adventures of a young girl who imagines herself flying amongst and manipulating the clouds in the sky.

Although the animation is not as finished as I'd have liked and I had to cut a scene out to meet the deadline I feel like I've learnt a lot throughout its development. Enjoy!

HD version is here: [link]

Awesome! :3
I haven't had any experience with aftereffects yet but aside from that this animation is amazing. Thanks for letting me know c:

how was this done with FLash, Photoshop, after Effects and Premier....? can you explain? i thought it was just done in flash!

can you let me know how you used each program i really like to know how they can all be used together! :] thanks

FargalEX In reply to GlEn-CoCOA-182 [2009-10-19 09:19:05 +0000 UTC]

I used Flash for all the character animation, Photoshop I used for drawing the backgrounds, AfterEffects I used to composite stuff/add stuff like motion blur and move the clouds around, Premiere I used to edit everything together at the end.

GlEn-CoCOA-182 In reply to FargalEX [2009-10-20 04:56:15 +0000 UTC]

aftereffects lets you move flash buttons, clips etc. around? wow i didnt know that! did you use photoshop to draw the characters too?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

FargalEX In reply to GlEn-CoCOA-182 [2009-10-24 02:17:04 +0000 UTC]

No, I did all the character work in Flash. I exported each shot as an image sequence and then imported into Aftereffects where I could layer it on top of the backgrounds.

Oh, this is wonderful- I was rather dissapointed I didn't get to see it during the Animation Talk during the Open Days in your university...
But I was still wery impressed, and I am interested in studyig there...
But...
Well...
Any advice?

FargalEX In reply to my-twisted-logic [2009-07-24 11:29:18 +0000 UTC]

I would recommend to just draw a lot, and don't be faithful to the style you have developed - try to play around drawing things that look completely different. Life studies would be a good move.

my-twisted-logic In reply to FargalEX [2009-07-24 17:55:51 +0000 UTC]

Thank you. These things are so basic and we still forget them... And I am already going to an art school, though they don't give us many life drawing classes... next year, I hope.
