Finished!

Here's the final animation. I'll conclude it after you've watched it .

(Apologies for the poor narration).

List of things I'm unhappy with-

• The voice over was a last minute thing (I knew I'd need narrations from the very start, but instead of recording my sound in the first few weeks in the booth at Uni, i waited until the last minute and used my headset which in turn means poor quality).
• The music although passable, isn't matched to the animation. Getting someone to watch my animation and write a piece of music to it would of probably been the best choice.

That's pretty much it, the sound side of things I'm stupidly out of my comfort zone and i have no real idea of how to work with it inside Flash (or outside).

I'm happy with the style that was eventually used, you can see it get progressively better through the animation, the first background for example looks worse than the second and third backgrounds. I doesn't look BAD, but the second and third backgrounds were better (in my opinion).

In terms of animation, due to me leaving it to the last minute (again) (as always) (idiot) i had to use a few shortcuts like doing less inbetweens than i would have liked to (or in some cases doing none at all (cookie jar/Stroppy cross arms).

All in all it's been fun doing this animation and if it had a little better narration (Which i may change in the future) it's done it's job. Numerous people have said "Aww, naughty baby" which was the reaction i wanted (which means it's done it's job). The moral i feel is there (not as forward as I'd like) but it's noticeable. I just feel pacing it differently would of been a better idea.

Next time i really need to stop working backwards and work the NORMAL way. It's used by animators world-wide for a reason, who am i to break a working methodology?

V-CAM! SAVIOR!

This little tool saved me a lot of hastle in the second scene.
