Test Animation for my entry into the Draw with Jazza Spooky Animation Competition (October 2017). The Brief was to create a 60 -120 frame loop of a spooky character dancing to a 120 bpm beat/ song at 30 frames per second. The character must start and finish in the center of the frame and mustn't go outside of the frame at any point. 

Colour test.

Lighting and shade test.

Final animation - Dancin' Jack O.

I am pleased with the final product especially since I needed to get it done in 8 days. I  used photoshop to create the animation. I am specifically happy with the the fire around the eyes and the lighting (I wanted to make it as though the only sauce of light was emanating from the head. I feel the movement overall could have been smoother but it isn't terrible. I was extremely glad to find the song 'Jumping Jack' by Big Bad Voodoo Daddy as it was perfect for the character, the feel of the scene and the tempo. Overall I am happy with the outcome.
