Traitor's Gate Animation

Traitor's Gate Animation

Today we were asked to create our animation for our storyboard idea. I started with drawing the image in each strip for my story board, and each one on it's own layer. When doing this I had to think what layers would connect with each other. For example I couldn't have the prisoner in the boat scene without the Traitor's Gate background. Or the shocked prisoner getaway scene without the add on with the pursuer, and the text scene. Adding the colours weren't too difficult to do., and the drawings aren't too detailed.
Getaway scene close up.

End scene that had a combination of two layers.

Shocked prisoner scene.
Ariel getaway scene.

Animation Studio Ideas

Blue Zoo/ Seed Animation


Just Eat


An animated commercial directing people to their business, Just Eat. This is where you can order food, without going to the food stores to eat. It demonstrates this by showing a hungry belly in need of something to eat, and the brain finding something to eat by going online to the website, JustEat.co.uk. This is clever, because it speaks to the audience who have both things, basically saying if you have a brain go to their website.

BBC/ Ceebebies



An animated commercial, talking about the new feature for grown ups, to do with their kids. This offers games to play, and many activities The advert's showing a 2d animated character of a parent with a kid, exploring the new website feature. Good for keeping an eye on their kids.

Aqua Fresh


An animated commercial, talking about their product- Aqua Fresh toothpaste, mainly aimed at kids. This shows kids their product, and how to brush your teeth. Good for teaching kids, and getting credit for being the teacher who taught them which will encourage the parents to buy their product.

Coke Music



An animated non cartoon commercial for advertising Coke. Don't know what the aim is apart from making Coke more popular.

Accident Hero

An animated 3D advert  for people who have been in an accident, and their car is totalled. Then what this company offers is, compensation to fix it. This is good, because there are tons of people who get into accidents, and they are offering help which people like, so it's a popular, and successful business.

Curious Cow


An animated cartoon series which was intended for Nickelodeon. It's a cartoon about a curious cow, and the trouble it gets into when it gets curious, and doesn't listen to the instruction, or ignores the signs of danger. This is good, because it can be funny watching a cow get maimed, and it's nice to watch, because it is simple, and nice looking,as well as short.
