First parts of our ads!

This is the first part of our third ad that still has the film attached so you can visualize the final product when the rotascoping has been finished.


This is the first part of our third ad without the film so you can see what it looks like on its own.


The rotascoping part is taking a lot longer than we thought it would. I think this is because we weren't sure how to use the software properly so for quite a long time we have been figuring things out. We have got more done in the past couple of days than we have done in the past couple of weeks because we now understand the software more and we have worked out little techniques such as the "motion tween" which is making using Flash animation a whole lot simpler! For example, we started off making the first ad which is the prehistoric-style ad and realized that we needed extra shots in the video to make it work. We then tried to make the retro/vintage ad but again, we found we needed to add extra shots to make it work. Finally, we started the futuristic ad which is probably simpler than the others because it is mostly all drawn and we havent used the video much as a template, only when the character is moving.
