All of my footage was filmed over the duration of two days. I first took still images of Brooke in my garden posing and rotoscoped each image to either put over the footage or have them flashing between each image. On the second day I then filmed the live footage of brooke dancing on Castle hill. Most of my time is used to rotoscope and overall i have completed 2 minutes but took me over 16 days to rotoscope.

Written interpretation

For my video, considering it is a music video I don't have a script for my piece. All of my animation is live footage or rotoscoped images over a piece of music which i have composed/sung myself. Instead of planning my my video i have filmed bits and pieces which i have tested by putting the footage into PS and rotoscoped then stringed the pieces of film together.

Animation Treatment

Initial Planning

For my Animation video I have decided to compose a music video. I've decided to do this because although I already have completed all of the character design for 'dizzy'; the animation as a cartoon television programme would have become boring. The video will be created by using rotoscoping on still images and live action footage. I thought that if i were to combine the two it could create an interesting effect when two images are superimposed. The piece that I am planning will be abstract so that the viewer can have their own take of the video rather than making it my own. The video will start with a girl laughing and almost narrate her life through the camera. Small bits of her clothing, facial features and hair will be rotoscoped. As the video goes further on the rotoscoping of each shot will increase until eventually the girls is dancing on a hill with rotoscoping flashing around her.

The idea of smoke and the way it moves inspires me to use it to emphasise the smoke and prove to the viewers that it is bad but by making it bright colours will also give the viewer an idea that it is not smoke and something else. So by using the colours I will draw the attention away from what it actually is and draw the viewers attention to the colours rather than the smoke.

I origionally wanted to have the style of little mermaid and do this within photoshop frame by frame. It will take alot of time but eventually it will be worth the time and effort. I like how the little mermaid is designed because it is so simple with black lines and block colours but is also shows an interesting, bold image for the viewers. The character is so realistic by using simple things but also complicated.
