About the finished sting

Instead of uploading each part of the complete sting with their hands and heads updated to the animation, I decided to skip ahead and upload the finished sting which includes backgrounds and sound. unfortunately, due to the fact that I chose to composite the sting in a PC programme called 'Adobe Premiere Pro' a programme that I am unfamiliar with, instead of the Mac programme 'Final Cut Pro' there is a boarder that has appeared around the video, all attempts at removing this have resulted in a lower image quality in the sting. The revised ending to the sting also features more 'plank-like' pieces of wood appearing instead of the splinter of wood that appeared originally, this is due to limitations with 'Toon Boom'. Stan is also featured wearing cat-burglars mask due to the fact that it is less obvious he is a criminal with the lack of Dave (The police officer) in the sting. The backgrounds have gone through 3 different stages of creation since the project began, originally planned to be constructed in 3D 'Maya' I decided to use ‘Photoshop’ to edit scanned images due to my lack of knowledge on texturing and animating in the programme, this later proved more trouble than originally planned when my copy of 'Toon Boom' met constant errors when introduced to my scanned images. After finally managing to successfully import the first background without Toon Boom crashing, the time I had set out had elapsed leaving me with only one choice, to drawing in the backgrounds using Toon Boom, which I found I liked the finished effect more than the previous methods.
