Special FX

One of the things Im most pleased with in relation to this project is the exposure it has given me to the Toon Boom Animate Pro2 software and in that respect I'm glad that i chose to work with Toon Boom. I feel that i have really gotten to know the software and the potential that it allows through this animation piece.

Two effects i used were the glow effect and the integration of a lightening strike. The first effect was done within the program itself through the use of the module library function and gaining a deeper understanding of the network connections. Its not so much the result of the effect in this project, more the knowledge i gained from including it. The effect would have worked better had the background been darker.









The second effect of lightening was one i kind of worked out for myself by watching old cartoons and slowing down the action to frame by frame motion to see what happened to the characters and backgrounds during a lightening strike. This visual coupled with the sound effects gives the impression of a 'storm of anger.'
