I managed to find some fox stock footage to rotoscope. Again I animated roughly 50 layers, and then duplicated them backwards in order to create a looping animation. Again this was very time consuming, but I think the end result is worth it. I think the precisely drawn fox fits well over the static, more abstract background of the cherry blossoms. I also think the combination of analogue and digital create interesting variations in texture and style. The block colouring of the fox would be boring without the abstract background, but I needed to colour the fox a flat grey to mimic the fox statue.
I’m very pleased with this animation, but it doesn’t really convey the message or story I wanted to get across. I plan to add onto this animation with a separate animation, and link the two with some sort of transition. I don’t want to do a completely new animation because this one was so time consuming, and it also looks good. It could also serve the purpose of setting the scene before the story unfolds.
