the final animation is all done! with music!
ive attached the animation below as well as a youtube link! (just incase one of them doesnt work)
im quite happy with how its turned out. given more time i would of done the scene where the netting comes off the boat a lot better, would of made the netting more prominent, as well as have the waves moving, and a fisherman moving.
i also would of added drawn frames to the first scene. i used a couple repeats in the first scene of the animation, it was meant to look more like the seal was sniffling while crying. going back if id had the time i would have drawn out those frames properly so it would be smoother.
i would also add more frames to the scene where the seal gets caught in the rope as its very quick and only made of 4 drawings. i would have possibly done the ropes snapping in that scene rather than an scene of just the rope.
i really like the last 2 scenes though. i would of added more frames to the one where the seal is coming out of the water. i would do this to spead that up and also make it longer, possibly with the seal struggling to climb and walk on land before finally collapsing.
i really like the last scene, its very simple and i think the key frames i used to zoom on the last image is nice as it leaves you with a very sad image, therefore leaving with sad emotion from the animation, as aimed for.
i think the message of fishing nets harming ocean animals comes across clearly. if id had more time i would of done another scene with the penguin (though undecided what happened to him)
however im happy with the end result and i feel that the music goes with it well, especially as it slows towards the final scene, so it has good timing.
