More Ideas.

My animation came out a bit short so I thought up the idea of making the film a bit (more)surreal so the character now jumps into space where he fly's around for a bit and ends up sitting on the moon looking down at the Earth.
We managed to create a space background by getting a big sheet of black paper and using chalk to give the effect that there are stars and using blue, yellow and green pastels to use for the sun and Earth.
After this was made I made a cut out Ano because a sheet of asotate was too shiny and it was showing up when i took pictures; so i resolved this by just cutting Ano out.

Filming and animation.

The Snow has meant that we can have band footage that is completely different to the main animated story line. I thought that this was a really good thing as it means it ties in with the song where we go through a journey through someones life from being young to growing old as seen in the lyrics "We can crush some plants to paint my walls" and "Now i can scare the children off my lawn". These two extremes I believe will make my music video a lot better.

More animation.

I have managed to finally get all of the animation finished with a huge tweak to the story line. The character Ano now walks through the city until he finds a cheap dirty motel where he get in a lift and finds a room to sleep. This has taken roughly about 4 hours to do as me and the artist have had to spend most of the day drawing and coloring the background.
I have also managed to cut the song down to exactly three minutes meaning that a lot less animation is needed to be done; vital for the fast approaching deadline.
