Editing

This is the final step of the project – editing.

I lined up the shots in the order in which the story develops. I found the right background music online and added it to my video. Music is divided into two parts. The combination of music and pictures in the first part presents a depressive and painful emotional feeling. The second part calls for a cheerful, warm feeling.

I added the sound of the heart rate detector at the very beginning of the video and when the protagonist is lying on the hospital bed, which can also set off the atmosphere very well. In the second half of the video, the chirping of insects and birds is added, which is also the same reason.

Project Summary

The film is about 25 shots, not many, but I made the most of every shot to convey the story to the audience. From the design of the storyline to the production of characters, scenes, and actions, I have done everything with great care.
The plot may be a bit obscure, if you don’t know the premise of the story very well. The story is told through a chain of dreams. But in fact, this story has no real ending. Everything can be the beginning or end of a dream. So the title of this story is Fantasy.
The biggest difficulty in this project is the creation of atmosphere. Do this with lighting, environments, costumes, and more. I repeatedly adjusted many lighting parameters, and finally achieved the effect I am satisfied with. But the only regret is that the character’s clothing material is not well reflected in the video. I’ve tried many ways, but nothing works.
This is the first animation I made with a full storyline. I hope that I can learn from the previous experience and make better animations in the future animation production.
