Collaborative Brief - Loopdeloop - Final Animation

Please ignore the bright blue boarder in final animation - these where not supposed to be there.

Sound effects
We downloaded a number of sound effects to fit with the animation:

• 2 different chicken squawking noises - for different times that the chicken squawks.
• Cracking egg sound - for when the egg is opening and closing.
• Bouncing spring noise - for when he jumps out of the egg.
• A classic jack in the box winding sound - for when the handle is winding.

We wanted a funny soundtrack for it, we tried out a few different types of music:

• Some comedy trumpet sounds - they where to slow and random and didnt quite fit with the pace of the animation.
• The austin powers sound track - this suited the vibe of the animation but the sound clip was too long and we couldnt make it fit. We tried chopping up the track to get the parts we wanted but this messed up the rhythm of the song.
• Finally we tried a classic circus sound track - this seemed to fit really well with the pace of the animation and the funny comical theme.

• Im pleased with how the final animation came out, I like how the chickens face worked when being enlarged and warped. It gives a funny comical effect.
• Half way through the production we had the idea to make him pop his head up once and disappear again. This works well and creates tension before he fully jumps out of the egg and starts going crazy.
• I like the overall combination of different imagery. Its interesting to see how my lino print works against other simple graphic imagery. It makes the detail and unusual form of the chicken more powerful
• The loop works well, i'm glad about this because this concept was created due too it working as a loop so im pleased it runs smoothly - and is obviously one of the key requirements in the brief.
• Looking back on it now, one thing I dont like is how the circus soundtrack is way too loud compared to the winding noise at the start.
• Working on the animation at the same time as Roshan worked really well. We could reflect on each others ideas and help each other with the technical problems that we encountered. Because there was a combination of mine and his imagery - we both had indervidual ideas of how the imagery we created would move, so working on it at the same time allowed us to make them happen (without letting one of our ideas take over the whole animation).
