This week we started putting everything all together, i captured all
the frames using dragonframe as this is much faster than scanning them
in. Then using photoshop we all cleaned up the frames, removing the
white colour of the page except for the characters. Then whilst Guy and
Meg finished cleaning up the frames, i began compositing the frames in
premiere.
Before compositing in premiere we needed to
get the backgrounds finished, to a standard we were happy with. I used
research from a few layout books and used inspiration to create the feel
of the backgrounds. I wanted to keep the backgrounds very abstracted
and minimalist as to not complicate the scene and not to take away from
the focal points of the characters.
I took inspiration
from flicking through the book "The Noble Approach". This book had some
interesting background designs. It showed me that using maybe only two
or three colours can still form a very suggestive but abstracted
background, which is what we wanted.
After
we scanned in the background, Guy edited them on Photoshop and added
additional light/shadow, which was a huge improvement and by this point
we were very pleased with the backgrounds.
