Creating the Set

 
Myself and Sam created everything that will appear in the animation. We spent half a day on a wednesday and a full day on a Thursday. The process of painting was really time consuming and would have been better if we had longer, or had more people to paint. We used paper, acrylic paint and pastels.
This photo shows some of the backgrounds that we completed. As you can see there is a mixture, ranging from plain coloured backgrounds which will animate objects on and more detailed backgrounds that have everything that is needed in that particular scene. There are several flags as our character is travelling to each country it's very easy to show the audience where he is and we will also relate objects to give a representation of the country.
This photo shows some of the objects that we created. Some objects are relevant to him ageing throughout his life, for example GCSE results, 18th birthday cake, graduate hat and so on. Most of our objects are just to understand the scene easier such as books, different types of foods, cocktails, fishes, tree, etc. We also plan to make emotions with our objects, like a love heart for when the Bill and Amy fall in love, or tears when one of the characters is sad.
