update...

Alright, so basically i finished the Animation, and was working on the backgrounds over the weekend - by the 27/8 the backgrounds would be finished (without colour). I'm still figuring what's the best way to colour them...not sure about the digital way just because it takes me more time, so I'm thinking about either coloured pencils (very light, just to get the feeling, cause i want the pencil lines to be seen OR maybe even goash...i believe more in the traditional way, there are so many details and sometimes it takes me to long in photoshop, but we'll see this week.
Few months ago, i thought about creating elements and duplicate them, but it won't blend so well and it's too lazy for me, so I'm still thinking, but at least all the backgrounds are finished in pencil.
2 more comments from Jack were that i should add a bit of sound effects for the establishing shot - and I'm looking for the right one....and more flow with the Arcs of the head. The biggest comment was to add another shot of the flamingo trying to fly, but fails and then the tear drops...and i did quick thumbnail sketches of the shot, but it changes the shots before and after. I will definitely get to it once i know that the backgrounds are finished, as i don't want to wait with them too long..got to finish quickly. so backgrounds are in progress, so as the sound search for the beginning, and as for the animation movements and the new shot - would be added after i finish.
