NIGHT OUT ANIMATION COMPLETED WOOO!!!
December 15, 2009
A Night Out
Rather than focusing on a personal night out experience, I found I had more creative flexibility if I started from scratch. My night out story is about a little girl who recruits a boy to join her on mischievous adventures in the astral plane. Together, they bully the spirits of another world. They soon find out that their target spirits were children as well and that the mother spirit was not pleased.
This story explores concepts of child psychology. Children have little understanding of the consequences of their actions. The two children in this animation attack spirits in a place unfamiliar to them. The disconnection of a humanistic world encourages barbaric behavior similar to that of The Lord of the Flies.
This was a difficult animation to do because I have little experience with character animation and I am a beginner with AfterEffects. This project taught me a lot about the program and the importance of a proper naming system for assets. As of this moment the animation is about 40% complete and does not have an original score. As far as the finished scenes are concerned, I am very proud with the quality of the product.
