Here is the Hare and Turtle at the starting blocks, I was really pleased with the way this scene moves, the sun in the background swirls round and the Hare and Tortoise brace themselves before you click on them and off they run.
You can see from the picture above, a sign comes up and tells you what is happening like a cominc narrative, like that Japanese site I looked at. The Hare and toroise then run along a path which I created going to the end of the road-the tortoise falls behind.
The Rabbit, Turtle and Sun were a animated graphic symbols ( basically you can create symbols seperatley that move independantly in the main feature) I made his arms, ears and legs on seperate layers so that I could move each ibody part at the same time easily without confusing them amongdt each other. I think his ear twiching is good for the his charisma as is the turtles yo yo neck which portrays his sloping posture, these elements give the characters life that kids will empathise with.
The sun in this is the only thing not hand-drawn, but I think its dim colours and fluid motion works well in the scene. The suns rays spin round which gives it life , it sits behind the mountains which gives the scene a 3-D aspect. This was inspired by a sun on the game okami.
