I replaced the end wobble with a slight pan out but I kept a very mild wobble on the fact cards because I liked the subtle movement effect.
El sent over her final scene which was the village crowd, however it looked far too cartoony and out of proportion for the realistic style we were going for and the discrepancy was really noticeable. I told her this and she offered to redo the crowd. The remake was better than the original but still a bit too cartoony but unfortunately there wasn't time to improve on this anymore before the final submission so I updated the new version into the animation as it was.
Luke our musician sent us the track and I was absolutely blown away by how good it sounds. I also asked Dotty over email if I should be aiming to make a trailer type of end credit screen and she responded saying it was a good idea as it would stay in keeping with the style of the animation, so I googled out some trailer credits for reference and put one together in Photoshop.
I also finished off the press pack including a poster (which unfortunately I had to redo when my laptop crashed and corrupted the original file):
With everyone's parts together, this is how the version of the animation that Petra and El submitted looked like:
What worked well:
- The music
- The 3D layer transitions and camera movement in general
- The general style of the animation with illustrations drawing themselves up
- The subtle motion in Petra's Sheikh Mujib scene and El's boat scene
- The end credit screen
What could be improved:
- Finishing off the river scene with the boat
- Finishing off the last scene
- The proportions of the crowd
- Adding some subtle movement to one of the cows in the village long shot
I was overall really happy with how this semifinal version looked. Now my priority will be to finish off those two scenes before my deadline.
