shot 5: background animated

here is the effect i was looking for the water :) After 3 hours after effects i found one solution i think :)

shot 2: background

Hey gladys, hey guys,

here is the background rough moved through the scene. The first 3-4 seconds I left this time to animate the bird in a circle like in the animation board shown. The bird should fly this cirle and then head to the center to go on flying. As you notice I variate the speed the bird flys along the river sometimes a little. Great would be if you deal with that in your 1 animation scetch :)

In this content I left out the motion blur, so you can easier animate in TV paint :)

Have fun :) questions? --> please comment :)

shot 1: background

hey guys, hey karin,

here is the background where you can work with and do the first rough animation. I had an idea additional to the animation board. What about if in the moment when the bird lands on the branch there is a little fish that jumps in the right corner out of the water and  back into it again. The bird sees that fish  and then he flies after him like in the animation board. Then we have a reason why he is heading this direction.

We can also use the idea of the fish as a shadow in the shots 3.

the black frame in the picture is the 16:9 size of the film later.

Please animate the fish and the bird in seperate layers so we can export them seperately an I can fit it in AE in the animated background. Also we dont need a very detaild animation it is enough to animate 2 circles.

Please comment in any case wether you like it or not or if you have any questions :)

Thank you.

first background test

Stan has sent me the first background layers.
I spontaniously merged them and add a sort paper background. That was the style for the background I was searching for. Great Job. What thinks the rest about that?
