I have been there to offer help with decision making with post, but for the most part I've just let Oscar do his thing, and I'm really pleased with how he has carried out post-production. I think there is a few things that could be revisited - for instance, the bus sound effect seems to be a bit too loud for me - but on the whole I think the animation looks great. I like how well the water colour works with the pencil animation, and I don't think there is too much of a style differentiation, so the scenes flow really nicely.
Post-Production Progress
We thought the animation was lacking when it was accompanied by just the narration (which we have since re-recorded), so we decided to add the odd sound effect to help aid the story. This was a great improvement, but we still thought there was something missing. Oscar had the idea to record himself drawing/scribbling with a pencil, and have this be the sound effect of our line transitions. The idea was so simple, yet I think it is just the icing on the cake. It helps convey the hand drawn element we were hoping for, and it helps to fill in the silences without being over-powering.
As I was craving for something to do, I took on the job of animating the titles. Once we had decided on a name for our animation, I was able to get started. I thought it would be a good idea to have the text transition into the frame in a similar fashion to the other line transitions in the animation.
Title Transition
I'm happy with how this looks, and I like that it is consistent with the rest of the animation. I also think it works well as a title sequence as it is the first thing you see, and it sets the scene for what the rest of the piece is going to look like.
