Swinging progress

The swinging project was the one was the throw away one. It was not hard coming up with the idea, for I had found the images int he first couple of days of the project. I spent the time that I had animating it, with adjusting the little tweaks. Instead of having each frame a different one, I thought a nice touch was connecting each frame by using the objects rotation to see other names. It fits great with the music, haunting, yet almost childlike.

Here is the final version. If I could change anything I would have had access to better quality images. The main puppet, which the title appears with, is great. I got it form the library and spent hours and hourse tryigt ofind images that would match it. I looked in every puppet marionette and childtoys book (literally) as well as many illustrators that might have similar style. I dont have the strong a vocabulary when it comes to illustration, which is something that I would like to further. I also redrew one of the images, and tried to match the style of the original puppet, but I am not a strong colorer in photoshop or illustrator and the style did not match, so I left it how it is, and move the really low quality images to the background so that they are not that noticed.


There are a couple of tweaks yet to do on it, but I am happy for the most part.
