After making the LIAF film, one comment I received in feedback was to try and take some of the abstract, more experimental style of line work, into my final film. My final film doesn’t fully fit an abstract theme in story or style, although I am enthusiastic to use what I learnt from the LIAF project in my final film. On the basis of this, I have incorporated a ‘dream scene’ into my final film. When FISH falls asleep after the disappointment of realising that they have no legs, and cannot compete in pageants, they dream of an abstract fishy figure with strutting legs. Currently, I have executed the draft of this in TVPaint. Whilst I don’t want the line work to change, if I have time, I am considering using the same techniques that I used in the LIAF project. For the ‘Abstract’ sting, I animated in TVPaint, then rotoscoped my animation onto paper. This method takes twice as long, but the outcome looks lovely!I would like the sequence to look ethereal, with the background feeling like the sort of thing produced in the original Fantasia film.
If I have the time, I would like to rotoscope my animation, and use after effects to project the hand drawn animation onto an animated background. I’m not fully certain about the logistics of this, but if time and technology allows I think it might be an interesting scene in the film.
