I used this Sun in my Animation, it spins around in the background through out my Animation. The only time it does not spin is when text comes up and when the monkey is in prison.

This is the tree that i created in illustrator and used for the background in some parts of my Animation. I used it when the monkey see's the cigarettes.

A filter is something in motion that changes the effect of your work. There are many different ones to choose from, you can apply it to whatever part of your work you would like. For example there is a filter that makes your work look like circles if you wanted to apply it to everything you could, but you could also apply it to a certain section of your work.

I decided to choose the fact a monkey once tried and got convicted of smoking a cigarette in South Bend, Indiana, because this fact stood out to me the most.  I liked some other facts but I had many different ideas for this fact that seemed fun to do, and i am happy that i did this fact. 

I would say the target audience for my animation is young people because of the style I have chose to do I think people aged around 9-15.

Because it is all cartoon pictures I think young people would enjoy watching this more and also because of the colours I have chose to use, most of the colours are light and I think this will make younger people more attracted to my animation. I don't really think anyone younger than 9 as the monkey is smoking in my animation and they might not understand what is going on, and I think anyone over 15 might not find it as funny as people in this age range would.

I have chosen to do digital and hand drawn animation because I liked the idea of using these styles because you can use many different effects to make your animation look more effective on the computer. I have hand drawn most of the pictures with help from a class friend Daniela. I liked the idea of the pictures being my own so this is why I have drawn some of them. I got the clouds and the sun from the Internet, and the tree I have used in one scene I created in illustrator. I am happy that I decided to do digital animation because I think this is the style of animation that suits my ability the most. I think this because I am used to using computers and I enjoy learning new things on them.   

This is the ending to my Animation.

I made my monkey look like he was smoking this lesson.

This is the beginning of my Animation i learnt how to make the text move, hopefully i will learn how to change the colour of the text. :) 

The monkey i drew with help from Daniella!

Started animating today! :)

Just finished doing my story board, now drawing the characters. :)

Defiantly going to stick with my fact about the monkey, got some good ideas for it! :)

There are over a half billion bicycles in China. Bikes were first brought to China in the late 1800s.
