More of the same, from the shed

Today we continued where we left off yesterday. I made the ocean liner look a bit more sophisticated, as the first design I did looked a little bit too children's book-ish, and we want to avoid this if possible. I elongated it, making it less rotund and put some 'windows' along the side. For the seagull, I made two different drawings, one for shot 4 at the port, and one for shot 6 'the wonders'. The bird in shot 4 will be animated using the puppet tool in After Effects and so is just a flat illustration; whereas the bird in shot 6 is a bit more sophisticated, having separate wings to give it a slightly wider range of movement. Of course everything animated in After Effects is 'cut-out' but the puppet tool is a new feature which can add a bit of a new dimension to things-it's worth taking a look at.
Luca continued with animation on the apple.
Tomorrow we're off to a wedding in Italy for a few days. And then back to Newport to find out if there is any gossip form the May Ball.
