shot20

update: I have completed animation on shot 20. Will ink it next.
I will also scan all the layouts tomorrow (I've been having problems with my scanner, but seem to have found a way round it). Let me know if you need any specific layouts for your shot.

A note on inking:
Put a clean sheet of paper over the top of a frame of animation (make sure it's holepunched for the peg bar), trace it off, and number it exactly the same as your animation.
Use one confident line for the inking, rather than lots of little feathered lines.
Try to use a 0.3 pen for the most part (if you have one; if you don't, it would be great if you could buy one so the film looks consistent). Use a 0.1 for faces as it's easier because faces can be small and fiddly!
As you will have read in the email, don't colour anything yet. We are debating whether we wil have time for colouring. Still animate quickly though, as both Gemma and I would still very much like the film to be in colour. So just get the line test okayed, then ink and scan :)

A note on scanning:
Stick your peg bar to the side of the scanner, making sure the tape or whatever isn't on the plate of glass. Maybe try blutac, but make sure the peg bar is stable. Then place your animation on the glass (face down) and scan each frame (obviously).
Scan at 300dpi, as a PNG.
Label with the shot number. And frame number if you can (though most scanners are able to label scans numerically, like shot20_001, shot20_002, shot20_003, etc).
To make it easy to find, I suggest saving shots you scan in individual folders, e.g. folder 'Shot_20' has all frames for shot 20 in it, folder 'Shot_55' has all frames for shot 55 in it, etc.
