The Rabbit and the Crocodile is an animation i made for the last brief of this module that examines a number of key words. The key word i chose was love. At the start i had a lot of very complex ideas all about emotions and peoples minds and i really struggled to get a simple enough idea that would be suitable enough for a 10 second animation. In the end i got to the idea of a rabbit that falls in love with a crocodile and after traveling a great distance and with a lot of difficulty he finally gets to his love only to be eaten by him.
In order to get an idea on the timing of my animation i created this animatic from my storyboard. I then worked out how many frames it would take at 12fps to last as long as it does in this animatic.
After a long while of drawing out each frame i finally had it done. I had made a few shortcuts, for example on one scene where the rabbit is looking at the road he has to take it is 24 frames long but instead of drawing the same thing 24 times i just drew it 6 times and repeated it so that it still has the slight shake that you get from hand drawing an entire scene for each frame but it didnt have to take as long.
I think next time i create a hand drawn animation i am going to have maybe two or three frames for the background so it has that slight shake but also have the characters animated separately and overlay them and see if that takes as long.
