The last thing that I adjusted to my animation was experimenting with an intro. My teacher pointed out that I had a good one or two seconds in the beginning of the animation where nothing was happening there is just music, so I thought about what I could do to fill this time slot. I couldn't just get rid of because then my animation would be 8 seconds long, when the required amount was 10, so I came up with an idea.
Since the E4 brief required the logo to be shown not just at the end of the animation, I thought I would involve a transition that includes it! I went into Photoshop and make a .png file, so an image with a clear background (even though it looks white on here) and created an image where there is around 100 E4 logos back to back.
I then imported that into After Effects and created a pink solid that was the same colour and hid the .png file so that it could not be seen. Then using all the skills and techniques that I had learnt from previously making my animal shapes explode, I decided to use the same technique but make the E4 logo explode. I altered the physics so that it shatters towards the camera and not just downwards. This actually turned out really nice but i'm not sure if it goes with my animation since the majority of it is handmade and I am undecided it I will keep it in the final animation or not.
