My final animation went really well. The rotoscoping technique I decided to use was very effective and I am happy with the result.
I experienced many problems with Toonboom whilst rotoscoping, one of the many problems I experienced was that Toonboon didn't have any type of a layer system which would have been allot easier to work with. to over come this problem I started to group certain section of the animation.
I also found it kept crashing with the slightest changes that I wanted to make, therefore by overcoming this problem I decided the best solution was to several backups of the working files which could be referred to at any point.
Another problem I found was as I filmed my footage on a low quality camera the rendered PNG files were not clear to see which made them a lot harder to trace over, therefore it took more time than I had planned it would do.
Improvements
If I was to redo this animation again I would probably change the software which i used to Adobe Photoshop as I'm very familiar with the interface and with the software in general, therefore I think the animation would turn out a lot better.
If I had more time I would also have added more colour to it all as it would have brought out the animation a lot more.
I would re-shoot the footage with a better quality camera so that it would be easier to rotoscope over so that the animation can run smoothly and also in a much better quality to be able to trace.
Overall my animation is simple and very effective it could be used as an advertisement for my self. I am happy that I tried out this software as it gave me the experience and insight of what this software is capable of doing and what type of animation would be best to use Toon Boom/rotoscope.
