I scanned the pictures of waves which I had animated by hand on paper and coloured with pink watercolour paints and improved them with a photoshop brush that imitates water colours. I then deleted the white space and saved them as png. files.
I did this with each frame of the waves and put them in to their own layer on flash.
This transitions in to us going under the waves and seeing the characters floating around and transforming in to their 'perfect' versions of themselves (e.g. a disabled girl having fit able-legs and an older woman transforming in to a young school girl). In this part I shortened my time animating the people from areas of the screen to simply copy and pasting the images around the screen to show their movement.
The next part to animate I think was, similarly to the head shake, very hard in trying to get perspective and angles of the body right in the movements. It has the main character throwing a high heeled shoe towards the camera. These animated parts, however, I find the most exciting to do, because in cases where I get it a bit right, it turns out looking really nice.
With this scene I think I have shown different ways of animating. From hand drawn to digital, to moving around simple still images. Again, I feel like I am moving at a good pace and am thinking, maybe I could re-use the waves for another scene.
