so many hours spent, gone, and we are not done with it. THE CURSE OF THE ANIMATION

There is a saying: you always need more for animation.

You feel like there's always something to improve and it's true.

Raw hand drawing

Primary colouring

Overlay coating 

After doing composition/ transitions in AfterEffects, we went back to Photoshop for colouring. I coloured over 10 drawings with brush tool. Then with an overlay, created the hand-coloured style. I am really happy with the result. The whole colouring process is roughly one hour per drawing.

We call it sweat shop

We came back to work on stuff together at the end the production. We need to consider everything together. At the same time, same room, we fine tune the character, the compositions and the music.

Ableton Live 

Minimalistic is what we want and we used only the piano. It took two days together with editing to complete the soundtrack.


I am happy for where the project stands right now but I can see there's a lot to improve for a festival competition level. We will put it on pause right now for a break and come back in a few weeks and see how we feel about it.
