Creating the final video

Putting the final video together was not as difficult as a first assumed. Even though I did not use the original script and story board, due to time constraints, I did still work in sequence and so all the scenes that I made up still followed one another. I worked on the animation scene by scene and so I rendered each scene is small increments this meant that the render times were slightly smaller. Also because I rendered off every scene immediately, everything was in the correct order and organized, which meant that I did not have to rearrange anything in the editing stage. The program that I used to edit with was adobe Premiere, which even though is not an industry standard tool it is still very powerful and best of all, is extremely easy to use.

At the editing stage I also created a title for the animation and added in a few different effects. In order to keep render times down I created short precise scenes, which I then, using adobe premiere, stretched out to make those short scenes last slightly long to give better impact.

Every time I do a project such as this I plan everything out right from the start including the styles, characterisations and even music. This project was however slightly different as I intended to add speech, but as I mentioned I did not use the original script so had to create the animation first and then find appropriate overlaying music.

After searching my archive of music I came across a classical band called BOND, they have a particular song, which I instantly liked and thought it would go well with my improvised animation. The track is called Dalalai and I feel it suits my animation well as it is a fast paced track but at the same time is not heavy.
