Editing and Shake

After I had finished animating I had a lot of editing to do. One of the big things I needed doing was to make the arrow move. I got Natasha to help me with this. We used shake. Natasha also created the smoke and grain falling in shake and the pigeon droping and seagull diving. Natasha was a great help and it was a very long hard day at a computer. She helped me to get out what I was wanting into my peice.
Here is a couple of sence completed in shake:

    

In this one we moved the arrow in shake. All the seagull and pigeon movement was done using stop motion before hand.

 

    

In this one we also moved the arrow in shake. We found it hard to make the end of the arrow go behind the centre part of the gage. It was all about layering, we had to make another centre part of the gage to layer on top. 

I had the edit a lot of blemish out of my work like shadows and the edge of the card, I did it all on photoshop.

Here's some before and after stills:

This was done on photoshop by taking a blank frame of the sky and stretching it so there wasn't the joining line on it then dragging the original frame in making it another layer and cutting the seagull out.
