Showreel Intro

After realising that my showreel would need an introduction with my name and email address on, I decided to animate something do go at the start of my showreel. Only having about a day left before I wanted to compile my showreel, I kept the animation simple.

I animated a little creature (a kappa) running on screen, waving his magic sceptre and bringing colour to the board with my name and details on. I've had practice with run cycles and turn around this year so I supposed this would be the easiest type of thing for me to do.

I'm quite happy with how smooth the skid and turnaround came out with. I animated this piece on Photoshop and think I prefer and work a lot better on this rather than Flash (I'm not too fond of the vector-y line quality on Flash). The kappa was originally going to gain colour as the board did, but I though it would make more sense for it to be in colour all along, so I added colour to the frames with the kappa on.
