If anything needed to be refined from the original film that would have to be the animation, at the time not having any prior knowledge on how to do 2-D animation, my attempt of animation was just to sketch out the picture, with a pencil and paper and just photograph it and use that as the final picture in the film, there was a late attempt to make the picture look more unique by adding a sketchy filter on top of the image, just to make it appear more lively than originally was, apart from the ending been in colour the sketches were completely in black-and-white.
The reason why the ending was the only section in colour was because it was a relatively positive ending towards the film, so in order to show that it was less dreary and not like the rest of the short film colour was brought in to show the difference, on how bright and lively his world is now, although I feel that the black-and-white scheme is a rather overused concept for a film, in order to show the contrast in the wilds between the doll and mundane and the bright and lively, I think I wouldn’t be challenging myself enough if I did the same thing twice, so I want to challenge myself into presenting A colour scheme in order to show the difference between the autistic lad life and everyone else’s life.
So I’ve created a five minutes animation test, by digitally tracing over my original sketches from the first school reflection film, creating them into PNG files, i’ve attempted to animate the pictures on using a key frame on my final cut pro software.
