Animating The gang!

For each monster i created 5 images each with a different mouth. This produced 5 frames opening the mouth and then in reverse 5 frames closing the mouth. This made the characters mouths move in time with the music. The two birds each had 12 frames for the downwards movement of wings and then again in reverse 12 frames for the upward movement of the wings.

I created my animation by drawing out each piece in fineliner and scanning them into photoshop. Once in photoshop i started to add colour. I then created each frame in photoshop placing each object in a seperate layer so it could be moved individually. I finally created a total of 360 frames for my full 30 second animation at a rate of 12 frames per second. I faded out the music towards the end and held the last frame that then faded into black.

Here is an example of the mouth movement. This example is too quick and will need slowing down for it to work in time with the music.
