For this short film I challenged myself to produce as much of it as I could on the iPad. Utilizing the Pages app to write out the outline and Procreate to design the characters and create the storyboard.
I looked through three animation apps- Calipeg, Procreate Dreams, and Toon Squid to do the animation, and settled upon Toon Squid because of it's simple interface and tools similar to Procreate that aren't on Procreate Dreams yet.
For the final audio I did cheat and bring it into Adobe Premiere to do all the music and sound effects, resulting in the short below:
The Process:
After dinner at a hibachi restaurant with my family, we all joked about how funny it would be if our two cats, Tux and Roxy, were at a Hibachi Restaurant. I thought this would be a cute idea for an animation and set out to do the design.
The storyboards were very rough, just to give me an idea of the general action.
From the storyboards I went into Toon Squid and roughed out all the animation, then did clean up, and colors.
I exported PNG frames with an alpha channel and added a background I drew in Procreate ti finish the piece off.
