Here is our final animated sting for the third years' final end of year degree show. these stings are to played in between the third years' degree films. For the sting I sourced the sound effects. I then layered the sounds together using Adobe soundbooth, making it louder for example where the carnival passed the window, the song at the end of the sting was a bit of fun, to show the energy which the old man character still had inside him. I did the backgrounds for the animation and coloured Amy's animations for the old man character I ended up putting the animations onto the backgrounds with the use of Adobe After Effects, this was great as I spent so much time messing around with the buttons and time line, I now feel more at ease with the program and think that in the future I will be able to get straight on and use After Effects.

I am currently in my first year of uni studying animation. As our final end of year project we have been asked to create short 20 second stings. I am working as a duo with Amy Callaghan. Amy is good at character designs we decided that it was be best for her to animate the old man character to keep continuity in the animation. At the moment I have enjoyed layout so I have done the backgrounds and colouring the old man character and the backgrounds for the sting, I have sourced the sounds which haven't been added yet but, will be for the final Sting. It has been quite tough working as a pair as we found that there was more work included in making the sting than we first expected.
