Applied Animation: Competition - Inbetweens and Edits

Applied Animation
In-betweens and Edits

  • This week:
    • I worked on the in-betweens for the Beetle Commute in London and created some test edits of a cropped version of this.
  • What went well:
    • Overall, despite the complications with using Photoshop for in-betweens, I was able to work on them, by flicking between frames, to see how the movement occurs. I usually follow this technique, however it came more useful for when I couldn't see the onion skin.
    • In addition to this, I added the white lines on the arms, to try keep consistent with the other two animation tests.
  • We produced two versions, one with an orange overlay towards the end and one without, as we weren't entirely sure whether Audible wanted just to stick to the blue colour scheme for the backgrounds, throughout.



  • After the final compile of all of the shots, in Adobe Premiere, I was also able to use After Effects, to then crop the video to the vertical ratio and add the Audible logo, like the previous tests. This makes them look more professional and consistent, which was what Audible wanted, from the brief.
  • What could be improved:
    • As stated before, the animation would have been more efficient in TVPaint, like I had done the other tests in, or Toon Boom Harmony. This would have also made the animation more lively and neater, as it all would have been organised into one document and easier to inbetween.
  • Next week:
    • I will be compiling the campaign ready for submission to the competition!
