Here is a frame of a test animation for a Michael Reddford / AngelsDevilsGhost video. It contains a vectored art character over an animated bitmap sky background. The original drawing was done on a 3 inch post-it note with ball point pen, which was then scanned in at 600 dpi, and the vectored version hand (mouse) drawn over the top. Seven layers were used to facilitate animating the character, so the hair, scarf and cloak all move to simulate the wind blowing, and the mouth was animated for normal speech as well as the evil, fanged grin. The sky backgroung has three layers of moving clouds, as well as the moon and a tranparant layer of "parchment" to give it a slight sepia tone. This is one of my first published samples that show how the finished Michael Reddford music videos will look.

Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it. Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article.
In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
