Animation progress

 I have begun producing the animated clips for the video, using each block of audio I chopped up earlier as a base for each. The animations are in an editable .fla file, and an easy to view .swf for use with Final Cut later on.

The animation is largely done using tweens, which operate by filling in the motionless space between two frames, where the object in each is in a different position. An ease can be added to the tween to make it run more fluidly, instead of at a constant acceleration.

Backgrounds and Audio ready!

I have edited the backgrounds, ready for use in the film. They are a very large size however (around 3000x1200 px), but this shall be useful when I have to be closer to the backgrounds in the video.
I have also seperated the soundtrack into 22 chunks using Audacity, so I can animate over each, and then put them together in Final Cut. This will be a darnsite easier and much less resource consuming than doing the whole film in one big Flash file.

I shall begin animating very soon!

Background Progress: Last two!

This is the back wall of the laboratory. The blank space in the center is where Viva-1 shall be singing at the beginning of the film. 
This is the side wall of the laboratory. This will be shown when Viva-1 is committing his crime.

I shall now scan these, and spruce them up accordingly in Photoshop.
