Behind the scenes of "Sit on It!"

I am currently at work on my first homemade animation project starring my girls. It is a short 2-minute pitch, titled "Sit on It," for me to pitch to Saban Brands for their shorts program.


Since I have to create a short on such short notice, and because my animation skills are not that developed, I will be using limited animation in my project, even using some classic Hanna-Barbera sound effects.


I scan the drawing and I open them up on Photoshop, where I color and clean up the lines, turning the drawings into makeshift cels.

Donna is getting her makeup done.
Afterward, I transfer the cels to AfterEffects, where I composite the scene and sync them up with sound effects and scratch voices that I recorded on my iPhone. After I complete all the scenes, which I rendered on MOV files, I will pit them together on an AfterEffects composition and add stock music.

And should I not get my break, I can always use this in a resume to get into a good animation school.
