Hello: I only had one day to animate this, so it turns out this "animation" is soooooo choppy to the point of almost being a "slideshow." Furthermore animating wibbly-wobbly pebbles on other wibbly-wobbly pebbles was a technical nightmare. Let's just say many lessons were learned the next time I do something like this.

Post-production editing was where I was able to do a bit more for the animation, and really my proudest moments that saved the horrid frame rate in my personal opinion: The special effects, the inbetweening, and etcetera via After Effects and Photoshop.

As for the music I placed a recording device inside my mini grand piano so the acoustics turned out surprising well, though I did my best to remove the strange scratchy sound in Audition (I don't even know how it got there). Also anyone with a very keen ear may detect that I had actually extended the music track by stitching together a repeated phrase.

ANYWAY, I know it's flawed. But I had fun from start to finish: From finding the rocks on the river bank, cleaning them, painting them, "catching ideas" for a simple story, setting up the stage, shooting, editing, and playing the piano.
