Practice 2: Light and shadow Update
Frame compositing used in animation to combine multiple layers of visual elements into a single frame. Usually this can include combining live-action footage with animation, special effects, or CGI. Here I have combined character animation and background using different photoshop and illustrator files. Each of these layers is composited together and colour corrected for the night, masking, and sometimes motion tracking. The final composited frame we can see in the starting duration.
An example of a well-composed animation is the movie "Grave of the Fireflies" directed by Isao Takahata and produced by Studio Ghibli. I like this movie and also inspires me in the making of my second practice. it also tells a story of firefly. This movie features a combination of hand-drawn animation and compositing techniques, which help to create a sense of realism and emotional intensity. The animation in "Grave of the Fireflies" is particularly notable for its use of lighting, shading, and texture to create a sense of depth and atmosphere.

"It's so embarrassing to admit I only create art for validation" did paleolithic humans not paint for other humans to see. Does a child making their first drawing to show their parents makes it any less valuable. Do gardens arranged for the visitors' eyes make the roses any less beautiful. Do love poems written for one person alone to hear make your heart ache less. You're fine
