Vladimir's Work

I asked a post graduate for some help specifically for background cleanup and design

For Vladimir I used some easy examples to explain my ideas for a few of the backgrounds. One of them was this drawing I made on Paint.

Overall I wanted to see with what he would come up with using my example.

For the exterior of the house, I also explained my vision to Vladimir, and he delivered me some work. It was not exactly what I was hoping for as my vision for it was a little bit different, yet I was able to work with it and make it suitable for the animation by changing some bits here and there.

Being in charge and being on top of everyone's work eventually started working out. Took a while to get the team to start working but some of the shots and for sure worthy of admiration in regards to the final look. Vladimir was available to work 2 hours a week, which pushed us further towards the finishing line.

In most cases, Vladimir would send me the work through Discord, where we would communicate throughout the entirety of the project. Most of the images where given without a background as a PNG file and I would add those PNG's onto TV Paint and fill them in with colour by using the Colour Layer and adding shade by using an Anim Layer on top where I would give my final touches.
At last, an enormous Thank You to Vladimir for helping Sam and I out in this film. It was, again, a pleasure to work with him.
