Haha, don't you worry, that was never my intent :) I designed it to be a black and white film. I'm glad you agree! And thank you so much!

Well, I'm just not sure exactly what I'd be signing up for! I've got the basics down, but I still can't help feel just a little nervous about diving right in. Not sure if I'm "on that level" yet, or if there would other semi-newbies like me in my classes...
How much did you know about animation before you started taking animation classes??

Here it is! My first year film at CalArts! It was animated on paper and then composited using photoshop and after effects.

There are a lot of things I wish were better about it, but I'm at least proud of how hard I worked, and this basically ended up looking how I wanted it to. I'm going to try to shoot for a more interesting story next year for sure, though.

This looks wonderful. Really inspiring. (for animators)
I was wondering, how did you do it? i know you used photoshop and after effects. But did you do all your cropping in photoshop? or did you leave it in several layers then piece it together in after effects?

Thank you so much! I'm glad you liked it! :) My process was this:
I animated by drawing on paper, and inked it traditionally. Then I would scan it in. My school's computers have little peg bars at the side of them, and you can set it to crop the animation to the size you wanted it in the scanner, so it was already registered when I scanned it in. On photoshop I hightened the image's contrast and deleted the background white space, and converted the images to PNGs, I then inserted the images to after affects, moved the animation where I wanted it and sized them to how I wanted them to look, and that was it! :) Hope that was helpful

it most certainly was. thats pretty much what i was doing, except i dont have the peg bars so i guess that was my problem.
(i had never really done any animation before with more than just 2 layers.) its harder than it seems. and for pulling it off you take the metaphorical cake!
