YIPPEE...HURRAY...FAB....BRILL...THANK GOD.....NEED SLEEP....Yes, we have finally done it, completed our animation. I think we have both done incredibly well, its amazing what you can do in such a short time. I have really enjoyed working with Saskia on this project and I think we work well together as a team. Our animation is certainly very unusual. I think the characters go well together and the background enhances it. If we had more time we could improve it, there is a lot going on in a short period of time, its certainly not boring to watch.
Finished the sound and recorded my own voice spluttering water with my video camera for Lola (better than a Walrus). Tweaked the sound a lot, would have liked more time to get right. Saskia animated Lola moving her head to the side which works really well. Credits look good as well.
Well done us. Saskia and I will meet tomorrow. All the Holland students are coming over for a few days to visit NSAD and the Aurora Festival, can't wait to meet everyone, will be strange after all those emails. Going to bed now।

almost finished sound and animation
We are almost there। Still got to finish sound, just recorded some more sounds for Lolas choking. Added Saskias credits at end and background, looking good. God can't believe this is nearly finished. There is a lot more we could have done but we have run out of time, considering we have more or less done this in a week and a half, not bad really.

We have sound
Well, I started sound today, not finished yet, just an idea. Sent to Saskia to see what she thinks.
Some of these sounds are mine and some our from the Soundtrack pro software library. Added some looping music (might change) as it seems a bit bland. I also remember when I did my BBC animation I wished I had put some music on it.
Added sounds of forest/birds and crickets at night which I got from the software library. Recorded my own water sounds and used for water pool and Lola spraying water. Added sounds for tree (which is a monkey nut cracking). Also used tick tock sound to pp. Managed to get a walking sound for Lola running, just cut it up and timed it to make it sound like a run.
Not sure about choking sound for Lola, couldn't find the right sound and I don't have access to recording equipment...oh dear। Will try again tomorrow. Also need to add sounds for PP, I have already recorded lots of sounds for this, but probably won't get time to use properly and may get lost with all the other sounds.
Wish I had more time as I think sound is really important but I don't really have time to manipulate the sound.
Saskia has done our credits which looks great। She has animated our names out of petrol and water, please see her blogsite.

32 seconds and still not finished
God what a nightmare day I have had. I have spent more time animating the tree, water and petrol than PP my character. Its quite frustrating as we have had to rush everything and usually I spend a lot more time on animating. I think Saskia and I have done really well considering the problems we have had, I just wish we had more time.
Anyway quite pleased with the water, managed to get the petrol in it, change of colour and then PP sucks it back up. Also put a little green thingy which grows out of the trunk (Saskia suggested this a while ago). Decided not to totally get rid of tree trunk as I was spending so much time on it. Also thought it looked better.
Saskias elephant looks great, need to try and animate pp tomorrow and add sound।

First 24 seconds so far
This is animation so far. Not had much time to animate PP. Animated Tree which took some time, water pool and petrol. Changed lighting over characters and tree to match Saskias changing background.
Saskia has been sending her finished movies of Lola in sections with green background. I have keyed green out which has been quite quick to do and has worked really well.
