Orphans Delight

Pages Overview

Page 1 : Outside of the orphanage, starting by showing a police report and then zooming in towards the front door.

Page 2 : Looking at the downstairs of the orphanage, with view of the split staircase. The camera then zooms up the stairs giving a panoramic view of the upstairs, giving the player two doors to choose from.

Page 3 : Going through the first door which leads to a long corridor with a window at the end. This will include the curtain movements and the lightning flashes. After these animations the clown will appear which means the player looses a life and then goes back to page two.

Page 4 : Going through the second door which leads to the sleeping area of the orphans. Old toys move on their own and the linen on the beds move. The player moves forward past the beds to the door at the end.

Page 5 : Starts with a corridor, turning left leads to the clown coming towards you which means you go back to page four.

Page 6 : Turning right at the corridor triggers the goat character to appear finishing the interactive ebook.

Module Tasks

Task One

Timing Of A Deflating Balloon

After watching a deflating balloon a few times I had figured out the path it would take in my animation.

I found this task easier to do than the bouncing ball as it didn't matter so much about the continuity 

of the shape of the balloon as it is always shrinking anyway, 

rather with the ball that doesn't change shape throughout the animation.

Task Two

Tweening Using Adobe Flash

I found the Flash program easy to use and have used it since this project to make other animations that I may have hand drawn previously.

Once I have perfected my skills of this program I would like to come back and do this leaf animation again as I think it needs to have the leaf rotating and maybe change throughout it falling as I think it looks too static at the moment.

Task Three

Cut out animation using Photoshop and After Effects

I like this style of animation and have never used after effects for this sort of animation before.

I think that I could have worked on the location of the pivot points, 

especially for the legs as they come away from the torso when moving. 

But other than that I am happy with how this walk cycle turned out.

Task Four

Animating in Photoshop.

I think i will have to edit the timing of the seeds flying away as they are too 

fast at the moment with a too big of a pause at the beginning.
