Specifically, the backdrops needed to animate the first scene (pictured below). As I began this process, I realized there was a lot to consider in terms of color palette, brush settings, how to maintain style consistency, etc.. I decided for this specific scene to have a dark red color palette, cut by a lighter orange for the light inside the house. Since this first scene is meant to exist in a dream-like\/non-reality plane of existence, dramatic colors and extreme shadows will fit the tone I&#8217;m looking for. I&#8217;ll maintain this palette for this first and the last scene which take place in the same location, but use a cooler toned palette for the scenes grounded in reality. I also began experimenting with animating movement of the grass, and am working out the most efficient method to achieve the look I want. Currently, I am drawing scenes in photoshop and exporting them into Adobe Animate. By next week I hope to have completed scene 1!<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-23713 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/artsatmichigan.umich.edu\/ink\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Scene1pt1-300x169.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"801\" height=\"451\" srcset=\"https:\/\/artsatmichigan.umich.edu\/ink\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Scene1pt1-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/artsatmichigan.umich.edu\/ink\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Scene1pt1-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/artsatmichigan.umich.edu\/ink\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Scene1pt1-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/artsatmichigan.umich.edu\/ink\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Scene1pt1.png 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 801px) 100vw, 801px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-23712 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/artsatmichigan.umich.edu\/ink\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/background2-300x169.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"799\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/artsatmichigan.umich.edu\/ink\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/background2-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/artsatmichigan.umich.edu\/ink\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/background2-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/artsatmichigan.umich.edu\/ink\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/background2-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/artsatmichigan.umich.edu\/ink\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/background2.png 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 799px) 100vw, 799px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This week I got started on drawing the first scene of my animation.
