Final Animation:

Agatha Christie Typewriter Animation: https://vimeo.com/214681149

This is the complete animation, which is 20 seconds long due to the other half of my animation failing. However, with the added ting sounds - like a real typewriter would have, the animation comes together quite successfully and I am pleased with the final result. 


Final animation Tests:

Test 1- without sound: https://vimeo.com/214681377
This shows the two animations linked together through using Premier Pro.

Test 2- with typing sound: https://vimeo.com/214680833
This shows the animation with typing sounds that a typewriter would have, I added this sound effect by converting a YouTube video into a mp3 format, adding it to Premier Pro and editing it where it was needed on the animation cycle. 


Failed Animation Test:

Test 3: 'Black Coffee' https://vimeo.com/214683499

This animation test failed because another part of the file I had saved corrupted and so did the rest of the other 2 book covers ('The Big 4' and 'The ABC Murders'), unfortunately I have not given myself enough time to re-shoot the animation - so I cannot add them into the final Animation itself.

Final Animation Tests:

Test 1: 'Cards on the Table' https://vimeo.com/214683337

Test 2: 'Poirot Investigates' https://vimeo.com/214683201

These are 2 final official tests for my animation, I will take these along with my other book covers into Premier Pro, link them all together so the animation flows smoothly and add sound to complete my Agatha Christie typewriter animation. 

Cutting book covers for animation frames 3:




These are the sizes the book cover needed to be cut to for the paper coming out of the typewriter. The last frame has an overhang because the camera I will be filming this stop motion animation with will cut out the top part of the book cover that is not needed.
I will do this for each book cover I intend to use for my animation. 

Cutting book covers for animation frames 2:



These are the sizes the book covers needed to be cut to for each transition frame, where more of the book cover will be revealed as they typewriter types out the design.
I will do this for each book cover I intend to use for my animation. 

Cutting book covers for animation frames 1:





I made photocopies of my book covers and measured and cut the book covers to each size they would need to be for a new frame. These frames are for the paper going into the typewriter, which needed separate sections of the book cover cutting so the animation would run smoothly overall. 
I will do this for each book cover I intend to use for my animation.
