Snail Animation

I then scanned in all 36 images that we'd drawn out and imported them into After Effects. It was easy enough to do but then I forgot to open the new composition as a PDL square pixel so I currently dont know what its saved as. I carried on anyways. The animation was only supposed to be 3 seconds long at 12 frames per second but I wanted to slow it down abit and made it at 8 frames per second instead. This gave it a whole extra second added.

I then zoomed in so I could see each indiviual frame per second and made each one last just one frame. It was all playing really well so I then decided to add music to it. I picked the first track I found in my music folder and added it to the animation.

The file was WAY too big after I rendered it, so to get it to upload I had to export it in SWF format to get a smaller file. Hopefully this will work!!



Im quite impressed with how it worked out! Would like to try something like this for my final animation but would have to take into account that this was 36 images for 3 seconds, and if my final animation is 25 frames per second thats ALOT of drawing!!
