animating in post

Some scenes seemed like they would be a waste of time to animate on paper as it wouldn't look any better. I laid out all the possible things that I could animate in after effects rather than on paper and then Lauren and Wing could decide which scene where not worth doing by hand. Scene like the cracking scene:

where animated using the stroke effect, its fairly simple to use just requires some attention from the pen tool to create a lot of masks. Wing draw the original cracks a few times so it looked more like it had been all animated by hand. I think the effect worked really well and definitely saved some valuable production time.

The stroke effect was also use to transition some backgrounds, as sometimes it was a little jarring when the scenes just completely changed to a solid background I use stroke to help them transition in.

Another section that was done in after effects was the bus driving away, it would be an overly lengthy way to do it by hand so I was just able to control its position and scale in AE.
