Project 3 Proposal

Animation Project Proposal

Carrie Avery

Digital Design

Spring 2015

For the animation project I would like to use a combination of techniques including frame animation as well as the onion skinning technique to create an artistic 30 second to 1 minute animated video using Photoshop. 

The concept I have in mind for this project is a continuation of a theme used in project 2, which is to create a magical landscape.  The inspiration for this project is to capture the magic enchantment of the world as seen through the eyes of a child. 

I would like to use my own my photographs of my children in a natural setting, like a forest.  I will use several photographs, although not to the effect of taking tons of pictures to create stop action.  I will use some photographs along with the tweening feature to draw out and make the children’s actions rather choppy. 

I will create colorful butterflies flying above and around the children by drawing in photoshop and using the onion skinning technique to animate them.

The end of the video will have the children grow wings and begin to fly with the butterflies.

I will used lightening, filters, and other special effects that I have learned this semester in Photoshop to make sure that the video has an artistic feel and invoke a dreamy, magical feeling in the viewer.
