After completing and making alterations to the first two animations, it was time for me to start making the third one! This animation is about driving without headlights, so it set in the night time and begins with the same character getting into his car.
I love this background that I made during preproduction a lot because it uses only two colours but they contrast and compliment each other at the same time, therefore I was looking forward to incorporating it into this animation.
I decided to use the car from my turnaround test because it meant that I could create new angles and scenes, as well as include a completely new car. I began by using the .png version of it slightly off centred so it gives the illusion that it is parked, so the driver can get into it. I rigged the arms of this character and then positioned him so that he could get into the car. I do like the movement, but I think it could be swifter.
I then felt like the background image, although was visually pleasing, was still a bit too flat. So I made the houses on new separate layers, and zoomed them in separately to the background so that when the camera pans in, it looks more realistic and HD. As well as adding clouds, I animated the car very simply driving forward but I think that it isn't that exciting, so I ended up changing this to a completely new scene instead from a different point of view.
Which looks like this. It is a shot that I have used previously in my Texting and Driving Animation, but I love how it looks now after re-animating it, as he puts the car into gear and sets off with the houses in the background. This is a much better change from previously, and I think it is more thoughtful than just extending the first scene, it shows that I have thought about how one scene changes into the next. Especially as you can see part of the previous background in this one!
