Below is our completed animation for Dream Green Smoothies. As you can see, we have developed on the simplistic line idea and storyboard motif mentioned before. Over the course of the video's production, various adaptations have been made. Most notably, the finished piece includes a new, more subdued stop-motion background to the one used initially. I also recorded a piece of backing music to accompany the visuals, performed on a ukulele with a light, upbeat tone to add a warm, tropical feel. Adding background music helped tie the piece together considerably; bridging gaps between speech in the voice-over, which was kindly contributed by Patrick Seymour, an artist from Newgrounds (http://seymour.newgrounds.com/). Below the finished piece I have posted two renders from the production stage, these help to explain the creative decisions described above; showing how the video looked with the original stop-motion background, how the voice over sounded without musical accompaniment etc.
