This is my final render of my rotoscope video created in Toon Boom, I think it's turned out quite well and I was really looking forward to creating this. It turned out much easier and better than my other 2 ideas since I managed to get a high quality video to rotoscope and it was something in which I wanted to do as well.
As well as enjoying creating my animation sequence in Toon Boom I also found problems with using Toon Boom, it wasn't very user friendly in some areas and it was very time consuming to animate 20secs in Toon Boom depending on the frame rate.
If I was to re-do this animation again, I'd look deeper into Toon Boom to see what features it has and in what ways I can use it to improve my animation, not only that but I would also research further into the other animation softwares to see whether I can use multiple animation softwares to create an animation instead of just using one.Given more time to re-do this animation I would add colour into it as it's quite bland at the moment, not only that but I'd also research into how to add special effects into it.
Overall, this animation turned out to be a success and I'm really proud of the outcome after all the time and effort I have put into it. I'm happy with the way it turned out as my initial idea was to do a fighting scene knowing it wasn't going to be easy to do and in the end I have something to show for my hard work.

Final Animation: Part 2

This was my 2nd idea, I decided to rotoscope a video which I liked of Cabal, but after getting into it I didn't like the way it was turning out and found it rather hard to rotoscope since the image quality of it was quite poor. Not only that but I found as I was rotoscoping the images and colour of the shoe constantly kept changing and it didn't seem to fit in with the previous/next frames.

If the video was in high quality and at least the size of 720 x 576 I would highly consider picking up this idea and rotoscoping it once again but because I had so much difficulty in finding the video in a better quality than what I'd seen in YouTube I didn't want to waste so much time browsing around on the internet for this video in high quality.

Storyboard for Final Animation

This is the storyboard for my final animation that I decided to do, of course after changing my idea several times I only ever managed to create a storyboard for one of the ideas, as all the other ideas I just gathered in my head and didn't really have the time to draw them down.

Overall, although the storyboard only has 8 drawn boxes to show my whole 20sec animation but I generally have an idea in my head as to what I want to do and how I'm going to do it.

Final Animation: Part 1

This was my initial idea of creating these 2 characters and making a fight scene, but after working into it I found it difficult where to position the arms and legs therefore I decided to stop and change my idea to something more simplier, and since I didn't know how to set pins onto the character I didn't want to waste too much time researching.

Given more time I probably would have liked to continue on with this idea, making the animation up as I go along but since I didn't have much time to do so I ended up having to change the idea to something else.
