Documentary Weekly - Final Submission

Here is the final animated documentary trailer, 'For Freedom':

Updates to this version:

• Adding and animating the ships
• Adding and animating the last background
• Altering the style of the subtitles to be more consistent
• Adding some subtle movement to the brown cow in the Village Long Shot scene

The final background took a lot longer to finish than I thought because of all the tents and people I had to draw for the refugee camp. The boats were comparatively easier to pull off.

The only thing I'm not entirely happy with in the animation is the crowd in the Village Close Up scene which is inconsistent with the realistic characters used in the rest of the animation but on a whole, I really like how this turned out and I really had to exploit some new techniques I'd never used before in After Effects.
