The music animation submission
This project really did take me to hell and back. I tried so many different techniques and software – rotoscoping, hand drawn, flash, photoshop… All gave nice results but just didn’t suit what I wanted to do.
In the end, in a moment of true Chinese wisdom, I realised that it wasn’t the method that had me stuck, but the actual idea for the animation! All along I had these ideas in my head:
The tune is actually quite a sweet, flowing piece of music. Good to animate some sort of love story!
I did the best I could with what time I had left. The animation is lacking, but I made up for it with some nice use of colour (a requirement of the assingment) 
Unfortunately I didn’t actually manage to finish the whole thing, but I got far enough. What was eventually supposed to happen was a Mario-style rescue of Prince Peach from the hands of Bowser!
