The blog post for my fantasy brief animation will be a full-on scene where Zeph and Bartosz are about to have a major battle in the city of men. The final animation will have music and sound effects and voice lines. This post will be updated whenever I have done more work for the animation. All 6 scenes have the fire and smoke effect I learned from a previous online lesson.

Early scene:

I decided to take feedback from an online session where we showed our work for our briefs and I added a floor and a backdrop, this was brought up by a member in my class. I agreed with the feedback I got as this improved the end result very much and made it more realistic and visually pleasing, adding more interest for the viewer. Also, I could easily use it to fix any problems in my animation:

Lowered the opacity of the buildings:

I placed the smoke in front of Bartosz as evil is often portrayed as dark, dirty and mysterious and I wanted to show him emerging from the destruction but Zeph is coming from the light to combat the darkness so I showed him outside the smoke:
