Process: Oh, Sonya







I decided to go with stop-mo charcoal animation for this short. The biggest problem was that I am not familiar with the medium, which lent to a bit of trial and error. Erasing and re-drawing was also pretty fustrating and meant that going back and fixing parts was almost impossible. A couple segments were removed from the final animation because of this. Also, the dancer was animated first in flash, then printed out as individual frames as a template and redrawn in charcoal. Then composited back into the animation. Im not totally happy with the composite, but I could just be being overly picky.
