Process & Production: Finished Animation

Once I'd finally finished enough frames for my 20 second animation I played it through on Photoshop to see how it'd work. For some reason, when I changed the settings so that the animation would play at 20fps, it ran really fast - lasting only about 12 seconds (when I had the 240). I have no idea why this happened, so I decided to export the layers - with the right aspect ratio - into jpegs and open them up in QuickTime at 12fps.
It worked fine and the animation ran quite well (if not a little slow perhaps) and I was pretty pleased.
 
The water didn't look great, but due to time constraints I didn't really have the chance to
change it - this will be reflected on in my evaluation. 
Once I had my animation completed, I began thinking about the audio. 

I knew from the start that I wanted to use an instrumental version of Chris De Burgh's 'Lady in Red' for when the characters are dancing but I needed to record some voices for Horatio and general sounds. I didn't want any dialogue in the animation, I just wanted a couple of gasps and some splash effects so I made them myself using the voice recorder on my phone. 
A couple of sound effects that I couldn't acquire myself (such as the sound of the waves and a distant seagull cry) I got from freesound.org. 
When I had all my sounds together, I put everything into iMovie and began editing.
I didn't need any transitions or anything added to my animation so the editing process was pretty straight forward with just adding the audio and exporting.
All in all, I think 'A Dream Is A Fish Your Heart Makes' (I added a name for the animation for the opening titles) has turned out OK. There's definitely room for improvement, but for a first digital animation experience I think it's an alright attempt!
