Friendly Fire is a 2D animation test of what will become a fully animated short story. Rather than being a full-fledged animation with color and sound, I am focusing purely on refining my character animation skills and executing clear and distinct body and facial movement. Due to technical difficulties with other animation programs, I utilized Photoshop to complete my thesis; the principle of animation and onion-skin aspects still applied as if I was using OpenToonz or animating with old-fashioned pencil and paper, so this method still worked perfectly and yielded the same results. This project allows for me to flex my skills in all areas of production and showcases how versatile my skills are as an animator.
