sample frames & animation explained;

The following are frames that I have used throughout the animation.

The graphics aspects of this animation is made with Paint Tool SAI. Windows Live Movie Maker is used to combine the frames to make a whole animation.

The main image of the animation is the chameleon (specifically, Pascal from the movie Tangled). Originally the animation was supposed to be of Pascal eating crickets but I have decided to change my original ideas so that it will be done earlier and be somewhat easier.

The animation is basically a chameleon camouflaging, spelling C-O-O-L-O-C-K throughout each change. He blinks every 8 frames. After camouflaging, crickets drop on strings, spelling out 'GO COOLOCK'.

There is a paper texture for the background, so that the foreground (the branch and chameleon) is more distinct.

creation process;

While making the animations, I first made a file for each aspect of the image that will be animated (like blinking eyes, rolling tongue and each individual letters). I then created another file that will be the base for the frames and saved it first as .sai so that I can go back and change it. Once I finished the base, I started creating individual frames and pasting the animated aspects onto the frame and saved the frame in .png. I repeated the pasting and shifting for the next frames, saving them as .png.

After I finished all my frames, I imported them into Windows Live Movie Maker so that I can put together the animation. I changed the frame rate throughout and contemplated on whether to add audio.
