setting the scene....

After watching my animation over and over again. i couldn't help my self but think there was something missing. i was happy with the animation however the background around the paper was bare. Therefore i set out to look for interesting objects that i could lay out to create an authentic look so that it appears that the paper has come alive...

I also noted that the lines on the animation weren't shaded enough and they weren't as clear as i had hoped. to fix this i then went over parts that needed the final touch and also added a spot light facing the paper to bring out the white paper in contrast to the black lines...
Here are some images that i took whilst in the process of filming...

the way in which i captured my animation was through my cam on my macbook. i did this because i wanted to make it look as though the paper came alive and the angle that it is captured is at a slant so it doesn't look all formal and perfect. i wanted a realistic and believable look and i think that i have pulled this off.
