Scene 11 and Closing Sequence



Animation Procedures:
In the final scene, as Pigham holds his apple in the sky, more and more apples fall down until he is eventually knocked out by the amount hitting his head. As each apple hit Pigham, I made sure to knock him back slightly. When they all start to fall down, Pigham ducks down slightly and frantically waves his arms. He he is knocked to the ground, I made him look upwards before being hit by an apple one more time.

To add an element of realism, I animated each apple individually. Some would hit Pigahm, bounce off him and roll onto the floor. Others would simply fall to the floor and roll around a little. I feel that although this animation is very cartoony, adding this little extra bit of attention to the animation of the apple really helps improve the scene.

Character Personality:
When a second apple hits Pigham, he looks angry and then stares at the new apple on the floor. During this time, he raises and eyebrow, creating the impression that he is wondering what on Earth just happened. As more apples start to hit him, he waves his arms in the air which signifies that he feels helpless. He falls to the ground, but still manages to keep a hold of his own apple. He slowly looks upwards towards the camera and is then hit by one final apple, knocking him out completely causing him to drop his apple. This is another cartoony effect, where cartoon characters would get hit on the head with many objects, and before getting up or saying something, they would get hit one more time.

Camera:
The camera is in the same position as when scene 7 ends. This is because it shows a clear view of Pigham's immediate surroundings, as well as makes it more amusing that he looks directly at the camera before being knocked out.

Problems:
I had no major problems with this scene.




After the end of the animation, this screen is shown to the viewer. It tells the viewer that it is the end of the animation, while simutaniously giving them one last laugh as Pigham attempts to get an apple.

I thought that adding Pigham to the end would make it much more interesting for the viewer.
