Final Project

For my final animation project I will be dealing with photo shop, after effects for transition effects and other animation effects and final. I intend to either have a live action background with animated characters or an animated background with a live action character in it. Not exactly sure, but I was leaning towards filming live action of a person sitting on the couch for the first few seconds then have animated characters start appearing in frame and layer static cartoon objects like a poster, table, or chair into the shot. My premise is someone sitting on the coach and he or she takes a hit off a joint and begins seeing cartoons appearing. An animated world forms around the person. Then at the end comes back to reality. Most of the video would be animated. I plan on rotoscoping my main character and adding a few rotoscoped creatures and maybe use the puppet tool for other characters.
