To make animation production faster i decided to have a shot of the arrow flying towards her, rather than a man firing it and the need of an extra background.
I used fast moving clouds to create fast motion for both the flying witch and the arrow.
When she is shot by the arrow i attempted to make her backflip., she does fall backwards but flys off screen very quickly.
The next shot i had to decide whether to do far shot with the witch getting up and turning to ice, or a close up.
I thought i might as well challenge myself and do a close up (Frame by frame detail). Ice seaks from the arrow which is stuck into her chest as she gets up. The ice spreads and soon she is frozen solid.
I then did a far shot revealing this.
This required another background, this one surprisingly simple and fast to create. Last off i placed Para Cat and the Warrior Character in place for tomorrows work.
This will be an intense day of character animation for both of the characters involved. Once this is finished the 'pre-story' will officially be complete.
After that I will be onto the actual story. I feel like i am behind, so i am going to work extra hard the next few days to get back up to scratch, there is a lot to do on this production.
Here are some shots of todays work
The ice reaches around the witch from her shot wound. I animated the ice frame by frame and then created a shine effect for the far shot.
Blurring the background creates more focus on the main character in shot.
frozen!
I also looked more into sound effects today, finding various clips like 'Breaking branches' which seemed to work for her fall off screen.
The most useful website i have discovered is this one
