i did not mean for this animation to turn out so messy; i was doing an experimental exercise in working with multiple layers that aligned with seperate timing to eachother.
i liked this idea i had of the heart beats, but i also wanted to see how many layers i could push using the openshot video editor (hence the drop in qaulity for the back most layer)
i don't really know what to say other than the struggle with the programn crashing so often was a pain; perhaps theres a better way to do tricky things with timing, because the qaulity of the video dipped drastically as a result & his wings clip through the foreground in the first & last scene so the foreground orchids look like they are giant, but, i do NOT want to put myself through that editing hell again to fix it i will just live with that uncomfortable animation mistake.
oh, what a lovely song this one is though. Ofcourse ive wanted to animate this for a while, i never had the proper time till now.
Plant species drawn in this animation:
💐 Pandorea jasminoides
💐 Sarcochilus falcatus

💐Music:
youtu.be/IM6FGpNFLso?si=dK8G6a7lgI_AsLkM
-
💐 Programns used:
- openshot
openshot.org
( free video software!!
it can be fidgety but it is simple. it gets the job done. )
- Paint. tool. sai
systemax.jp/en/sai
( approx $50 )
i recommend sai for art, but NOT for animation. i use it to animate anyway because i just love it. im fully self aware that its not the best. )
💐 Traditional mediums:
pencil & pens ( for storyboard & sketches )
