animation style

 this is style of the animation that James and i chose because we felt that the fish and background looked more defined and just looked different to the other groups animations.

me and James made these fish by going through the footage we had and by gathering images off the internet. The first thing we did to select the fish we wanted in the animation and puppet warp them on there main points of movement. we went through the video footage to see how they actual moved to make the animation as correct as possible.

after this we imported the images to illustrator and vectorized
them and reduced the images to only have 7 colours in them to
make them look over animated. then we traced over the fish with
with a thick line using the pen tool to give the fish a cel shade appearance


when the images were in flash the idea was to have the smaller fish react to the shark that would swim past the screen on a random timer.

the background James made was mad from loads of pictures layered on top of each other to create a a large scale tank, the rocks and plane is also made in cel shade.
