Story Animation

These are some screenshots of me working on my story animation

This project "story animation" was a combination of everything that we have learned so far in Adobe After Effects. The basic premise of this project was to create a story and then use our knowledge so far to create a animation. I created the story of "Tom" I do not know why i chose the name tom but it was just something simple to use at the time.

Tom was sent on a quest by the mayor to take down bartholomew a evil horse that has taken the color away from everything in the land besides the sun. Tom doesn't really face that many challenges on the way and then the encounter with bartholomew appears and doesn't exactly be a problem. Tom wonders why nobody else was able to defeat bartholomew, he didn't even fight back.

I feel that this project was a little bit rushed even though we were given about a week to do it. I could make a better if given the time. I would start by making the walk cycle cleaner, it was sloppy. Then i would polish up the backgrounds and make them look better. Then i would change the story to give tom a problem to face along the way to bartholomew rather than the problem being just getting to him.
