I am sure that I want to make my 20 second animation digitally, however I was uncertain as to what programme to make it on. I have previously done both hand drawn and digital, using Photoshop to make my past animations, therefore I thought I would have a dabble with Illustrator to make the outlines of my characters. I thought there was no point in starting the animation on that programme, if half way through I decide I don't like it or I am not happy with the appearance, so I decided to make my inter titles on there, as a test to see if I could work with the software, and like it.
These are the two pieces I ended up making and they didn't take up as much time as I thought they would. The main reason I wanted to try Illustrator, was due to the ability to draw freely using the brush tool, but then have it automatically smooth out, so there are no shaky, distorted lines. This came in quite useful when making my inter titles and I don't actually think they are that bad.
I then went and saved them as PDF's and imported them to photoshop so I could make them as gifs to put on my blog. As of now, I am unsure as to whether I will actually use them or not, but they do only play once instead of ongoing, so that if I do decide to use them I can just quickly import them into After Effects.
