change the colour of the stage to a light blue |
as above |
1 minute |
draw a semi circle and line to make the base of the bridge |
as above + line tool and circle tool |
2 minutes |
draw bridge on layer 1 and color it brown and then draw a tree with dark brown trunk and green leaves |
as above + pen tool+ paint tool |
4 minutes |
now add another layer and add a man then make a blindfold pop up onto his head |
as above + shape tween |
10 minutes |
make a new scene and copy main element from previous scene and paste it onto the stage of the second scene |
as above |
2 minutes |
continue to add motion tween to the tree and keep changing it by making it seem to die off |
as above + shape tween |
25 minutes |
add the clouds outside the stage and make them, enter the stage gradually using motion tween |
as above + motion tween |
12 minutes |
make the boy slowly move while giving stops to simulate walking |
as above + motion tween |
20 minutes |
make a zoom in into the kid and make him cry and bring a black background around him |
as above + motion tween |
20 minutes |
export the video as quicktime movie |

Annotated screenshots
as you can see below i added abase for the structural elements of my drawing that helped achieve a higher quality product and thereby leading to a better animation
|
as you can see this is the main scene I chose or the base where all animations would take place. as you can see this is a garden where a kid is seen playing around but has a blindfold symbolizing that he doesn't know what is happening around him making him innocent
|
as you could see this is the first stage off the ruining of the environment, as you could see that there is trash and that tree leaves have become orange and that is explained slightly through adding the factory in the background asa form of forecast for the rest of the video
|
as you can see There are clouds formed from pollution as they are grew and the factories are producing it and the tree is just branches and this transformation was produced using shape tween and pollution is at its peak and the boy has reached what once was the garden
|
in this snapshot the motion tween occurring during the scene before. as you can see the boy is dragged towards the other side of the bridge with multiple stops to simulate actual walking while the clouds are 2 separate layers that move in an anti-parallel manner.
|
as you can see the layer section was very jammed buck of the need of having smooth transitions and so many changes occurring in a short period of time. this also allowed me to cary on elements without any chop frames and a better overall final product
|
I further illustrate my clouds in this screenshot, and this ghost shows how the clouds were not apparent in the begging of the scene and managed to come later on, basically I kept the clouds outside the range of the stage and introduced it into the scene by applying a vertical. motion tween.
|
in conclusion my main message was to shoe that polluting ruins the environment so fast and we barely notice it, then I added the element of the kid which gave a pathos appeal to the viewers making them relate to their own children
|
changes along with justififcation
if you would notice there was an absense of the parent in the picture and that basically the biggest difference accompanied by the sun being there, in the case of the sun I found that if did not suit that well and took a lot of much needed space and was more of a showpiece rather than an object with a definite meaning and a clear impactful role. then comes the father which really didn't have that much of a role other then getting shocked which felt to me as forcing the audience to stick to the parents reaction and that was not my aim as I wanted this video to analyzed and interpreted differently making it unique from other animations regarding pollution. nevertheless if I did want to have the parent it would still not have been possible as I found that was given a restricted aspect ratio of the frame which was different to that of my sketching so the sacrifice had to remade to make the animation look less packed together.
