Introduction
We want to create a simple heart-warming short animated film. It tells a story of a teddy bear called Bear. Without narrator and dialog, storytelling happens between the simple scenes with sentences telling the plot. We aimed to convey emotion through color and background music. Bear was once owned by a girl brought up in a wealthy family. He kept the little girl company since she was a baby. As the girl grew up, it seemed that Bear was useless and eventually he was abandoned. Lucky as Bear was, he was taken home by another little girl from the trash pile and began his new story with another family.
Techniques
We used Photoshop to draw the scenes and used Animo to create the movement of camera. I was mainly in charge of the skeletal animation and post editing. I used Animate to create and set bones and edit all the scenes in Premiere.
