Finally, after struggling with the storyboard trying to create some kind of continuity with my story, I get it sorted out. Meaning, the hardest part is here: drawing.
I had this image in my mind of a classic glasswork usually found in old church, so I set the illustrations to have the same atmosphere. I want it to be graceful, and yet still light and enjoyable. Took me days to get all of them done! The coloring part was the fun part, also the filtering in Photoshop and adding special effect so that they would look like etched glass.
The illustrations done, now come the technical part in After Effect. I anticipated long nights of painful trial and errors, but surprisingly it wasn't that bad. After Effect apparently has decided to agree with me and I got it finish in one day. Probably because I only use simple of transitions, really. Nothing sort of fancy or complicated. Good thing, because the drawing part has got me exhausted already. Of course, can't stop myself tweaking the final file consistently, but all in all, I'm happy with the result.
One thing I'm so gladly found out as a newbie: the path for moving object can be adjusted easily just as we adjust path in Illustration using pen tool! And adding a new point in the path automatically adds a keyframe in the time line. That's just wonderful.
