Challenges
Solutions
The flat artwork meant that pieces could not be broken apart to animate.
- Animate minimally and use additional audio such as creaking door, and crow sounds to add more life to the piece.
Fine artwork sometimes flickers on screen (sometimes referred to as jutter).
- In this case, we were able to leave as is since it enhanced the mood of the piece.
To ensure variety and memorability, the supplied artwork required enhancement with a fresh visual dimension.
- We came up with a smoke and text treatment which fit the book genre of children’s mystery perfectly.
