Much prefer this style of illustration to my previous attempts. The block colour really lends itself to this style of animation as well, I wish I'd realised that at the start though!
The final section of this video - the frame blending by content is almost passable.. If I'd managed to churn out a higher frame rate it would probably have turned out as it should actually look.. without all those weird squiggly bits (technical term) where After Effects has had to make up what goes between the gaps.
I also purposefully began to leave in the imperfections I found in each image, where as in earlier attempts I edited them all out. The crop marks and finger prints and bits of crap from the scanner have given it a really personalised quality. Reminds me of those situations as a child when you decided you were going to make your mum an awesome birthday card, with all the best intentions, and in the end all you have is a sticky glittery fluffy mess. But still your mum keeps the cards, because the love that went into it is what counts.
If you can sum all that up in a word, you have the tone I'm going for here.
Excellent.
