Pretty much half of this animation is done, I might still tweak camera movements, but I still need to add the next 2 frames and need to make a plan for the jump cycle. I’ll see. It was fun to play around with the camera and see what kind of transitions I can come up …

Parallaxing my backgrounds
A good tutorial finally helped me understand paralleling backgrounds and how the camera tool works. For my winter animation I duplicated a lot of the backgounds to make it longer so I could pan to the side a lot.

We also learned about lights, and the different types we can use such as spotlight, or a plane …
