Wow, exams finishing and I've barely done less than 15 seconds of Deathnote animation (which btw, looks fantastically smooth). Animating at 24 fps is proving to be a real challenge, but I'm getting the hang of it. 24 fps allows me to make my animation perfectly timed, and therefore I have no problems with lip-syncing anymore, however because of the mass amount of frames drawn for every action my work seems kind of sketchy when I'm rushing. I have realised that I am terrible at drawing backgrounds, for some reason they just don't look like backgrounds. I'm thinking of drawing with Photoshop Elements for my backgrounds but I have to do a bit of experimenting before I can conclude.
Anyway, I think I'll put the ETA at about the end of April, because I've still got SAT to go through and my laptop is in the hands of the enemy...
