We have created a still image of what we would like our opening animation sequence to look like:
We have done some research into different production companies logos, such as the famous Lionsgate and 20th Century Fox animations below:
I have been experimenting with some animations on Adobe Flash CS5, and have used various 'Youtube' videos to help me teach myself how to use the basic features of this programme.
After a few days of experimenting, the animation didn't look like what I had visualised, so we have decided to draw each frame of a crow flying by hand then upload the pictures of the drawings, put the photos together and speed up the movie clip to make it look like there is a flying bird.
We have found one animation on Vimeo which we have decided to use as an inspiration for our production animated sequence, and of which a screen shot of one of the frames is in the picture above.
In addition, I downloaded a free trial of the animation software Maya to experiment with, after speaking with someone who teaches film studies at the University of Kent:
After playing around with it for a while, I found that it was very difficult to use and was a bit too complex for me, as I have had no experience with animating before. However, I would highly recommend it to anyone who is interested in animating because it looks like an excellent piece of software to use for any animation projects that people want to do.
