2d character animation

I finished my animation assignment 4 hours ago
and it wasnt until i started my next assignment
that i realised i forgot to change the format of the animation
so all that time i was animating in 12 frames per second
instead of 25 frames per second.

i have no idea how i didnt spot it
because now that i look at it i can tell
and all that time i just thought it was because of my drawings that werent smooth
i blame it on the fact that i was concentrating too much on syncing my sound with the babushkas' lips
because that drove me NUTS!

i decided that it doesnt look too bad
and there is no use trying to fix it
because then i might as well restart the whole assignment!
but i am a bit sad because i really liked this animation

anyways the video is a bit fuzzy
ill try import a better version if i can later
(the higher quality files arent compatible with this site, shame)

pleasantville



watched pleasantville in class today
(i know my classes sound like such a bludge but we were studying the importance of colour and this movie is the basis of our discussion)
if you havent watched it already,
its pretty much about two siblings
who get sucked into a 1950's tv show called pleasantville,
where everything is "pleasant" and black and white
until they start to change the 1950's way of living
and colour slowly appears into their lives and on screen
(just a short synopsis, theres much more depth to the movie)

anyways the reason why im talking about it is
whilst i was watching it,
all i could think about was yr 12 media class
i absolutely loved the class because we just watched movies and spent a whole semester just talking about cinematography
and how it tells the story
by using such things as colour, saturation, depth of field and different compositions

media by far was my favourite class of all
because we went through so many discussions about things that interested me personally
and a lot of the discussions revolved around the one question
"does art imitate life or does life imitate art?"
