FIRST ANIMATE

Today was the day we jumped onto Toon Boom Storyboard Pro, An also was the day that I made my first animate. We were given a script, to base our work off, but we had creative freedom to do what we want. We learnt how to draw, how to make frames and how to play around with way-point movements and camera pans Next week I believe we are going to produce sound in the animate so I haven't exported the frame yet.

Below is the Script we used, Screenshots from my animate, and what Toon Boon looks like:

"Lost and Found"

EXT. park - DAY

Lenny walks through the park, looking for his beloved pet.

LENNY

Here, Spot -- (whistles) Come on boy, where ya hiding?

Lenny walks a bit further and stops. He slumps.

LENNY

Aw, what's the use? I've looked everywhere...

Lenny droops in despair, but perks up when he hears the sound of barking off-screen.

LENNY

Spot? Is it really you?

A spotted bird flies into the scene and approaches Lenny.

SPOT

Ruff ruff!

Lenny holds out his hand and Spot lands on his finger.

LENNY

Aw, good boy, Spot!

Lenny laughs as Spot licks his face.

LENNY

All right, pal...it's been a long day. Time to head home.

Spot starts flapping his wings, pulling Lenny up in the air with him. Lenny and Spot fly up and out of the park, heading toward the setting sun.
