Animation Work-in-Progress Part3 (voice over, background music)


lip-synching is another one difficult thing to accomplish. Fortunately, there's only a few characters in the story that need voice-over. I, of course, would lip-synch the father, and Muni, I had to ask a friend of mine to do me a favor. So what I did is to pre-write all the lines that Muni needs to speak, and have my friend (a woman) to reherse by herself over and over. This is definitely not an easy task, since the lip-synching process has to be fully emotion evolved.

Animation Work-in-Progress Part2 (where is mom?)


For those who have read the storyboard patiently, you should be wondering what happen to Muni's mother now...well, the thing is, there's just too much work to illustrate every character in Flash, therefore, very unfortunately the mother is terminated in the animation version (she will not appear in the story)


Let's have a look at what it looks like in Flash:
The thing is, in actual animation everything is more delicate, and in color of course, thus taking more time. unfortunately for Muni's mom, she is not going show up in this film...

Animation Work-in-Progress

So with the storyboard being finalized, my animation has gotton started immediately. However, to animate my story in sequences is a whole different story; it's a lot difficult to do since it requires movements illustrated frame by frame accordingly. Anyway, I started out with animating the main characters that appear in the story:


Muni: the protagonist before she is reborn into a superhuman figure. A very ordinary girl. Note her features have been made to match a Paiwanese look, i.e, dark skintoned, black straight hair.
