Final Major Project FINAL UPDATE 15/6/12

Everything is finished. The animation is not entirely made, but i was only aiming to make the 1st two scenes as a test. The lipsyncing works well with the sound, and the animation has been steadily timed.

If i ever come back to this, i might try and improve the scenes and complete the whole story. also, i may have to consider a better voice cast, rather than just me voicing some of them.

Current animation process:  mouths fixed. working on next part of scene.

Final Project progress 17/5/12

I have found more information on the products i've researched. many customers who bought the apps gave a huge rating. the most popular was the Duck series by Jez Alborough.

The average recommended age group for reading these books were aged 2-7, but many parents have also enjoyed reading them.

Final Project 16.5.12

The final major project i'm working on is an animated storybook on Roald Dahl's "The Enormous Crocodile". the book will also include a full-length animated cartoon of the story, which i what i aim on working on first.

Research is going well. i've been looking up on the demographics/audience response to the 3 products i've chosen. this will list the reviews/feedback given by the audience, how many copies were sold per day. and so on.

meanwhile, i have made character concepts and flash tests for the animation.
