Cel Animation concepts (layers) – using frame
I’ve decided to get to know the basics of animation because I am considering using somewhat of an animation using painting of seascapes. I’d like to show the motion of waves in a more real, but kind of a poetic way as I am drawing reference from my own memories. In addition, I am considering using sound/music to enhance the experience of being within the seascape, not just watching the sea. I could use the layers of fabric as each new movement of the animation – see Summer term, Week 2 notes from the tutorial for more.
