I have made a few notes from Darwin's 'Origin of Species' as well as looking at the Natural History Museum website which has been interesting. Tree of Life
This animation 'When the day breaks' is by Amanda Forbis and Wendy Tilby. I like the concept and the way it has been done gives an interesting effect. A live film was rotoscoped and then each frame was painted over using oil sticks and put back together. The people in the film were drawn as animals for the animation, and some of the backgrounds from the film were kept in which gave it extra depth. Overall it is made up of 7,000 images and took four years to make! Obviously this is on a different scale to how I will be working as I only have six weeks left.
I have decided that I am going to make a completely hand drawn animation which means I am going to have to draw each frame. I'm thinking that it should be at least 12 frames per second as 24 is going to take FOREVER. I am in the process of drawing a storyboard and I will be making some short tester animations in the next couple of days. I am going to work in a very simple style with limited colours as I don't want to be over ambitious with the amount of time I have left.
