Animation Edit Process

The style I chose for my animation was hand drawn with water colours - using traditional techniques to create my final piece.

To edit my animation, I began by cutting the frames up in to separate scenes so I would be able to edit them individually - I did using the scrubber and pressing "I" for the input and "O" for the out. I then placed them on to the

time line of Final Cut Pro in the correct order.

After the first short scene, it goes in to a dream sequence so to show this I used an effect called "Arithmetic," which gave it this faded, white feel and overall allowed the animation to make more sense, like so;

After doing this, I added a fade in and out at the beginning and end so the entrance and exit shots weren't so sharp. I also put one of my shorter scenes on a loop so it would continue for longer - I did this my copying the scene and pasting it next to the original clip on the time line. Like so;

Finally, I added the music. The music is something I had recorded on an acoustic guitar and cut up in Audacity. I placed it on the time line and sized it to the same size as the animation, like so;
