ABOUT
For my final project for my GCSE Moving Image Arts class, I chose to make an animated short. During the planning stage I did research, made a PowerPoint, wrote the script and storyboarded. When making the actual film, I would take a stack of pages and a lightbox home for drawing the animated frames. Then I would scan them, colour them on Photoshop and save and store each individual frame. Finally, I would place all those frames in Final Cut Pro to make them into a sequence, whilst adding sound effects and music. Now the completed 50 second short is on my old secondary school's Vimeo profile.
