Final Animation Source Material

We began looking for inspiration that would help us to create our final animation. I found and suggested this video; a scene from Dreamworks' 'Despicable Me 2' in which the youngest sister of three throws a birthday party at her house, similarly to the first and last scene of our own storyline.

We took into account the camera shots used as well as the ambience and atmosphere of the scene and how the director exhibited the theme of youth and childhood.

I also found and suggested this video; a scene from 'Disney's' 'Tarzan' where the lead character is part of a jungle montage, showing all the elements of his environment. Again, we found this useful as it was similar to our own idea of a jungle montage.

We took note of the how the animators showed speed in the fast paced environment and how each jump cut within the sequence was timed and thought out.
