Visual Production Technique:
In the production stage I decided to animate with scribbles drawn in flash and adding animated paint layer in Photoshop to get the desired feel of my film.

Animatic for the Film:
After the initial story board was in place, it was time to start lining up the story board and make a rough animatic with scratch sound.

Technique:
After the animatic was complete, in terms of timing I started tackling shots one by one depending upon their complexity.
A plan sheet was made about how many shots could be tackled in one day and then the process of animation began.
Process:
The shots which were inside the prison were first animated in flash. Below are the images of the flash drawing.
• Then these frames were painted individually in Photoshop with required shade and light.
• Also the required background image for each shot was painted in Photoshop, with various other layers which were required to enhance the shot.
• These shots were then imported in after effects and the complete scene was composited with required treatment, camera moves and color corrections.
Editing:
The completed shots were then imported in Adobe Premiere and put on to the timeline and placed in a sequence. Then very basic editing was done in order to match each shot with the sound that was created in the sound design process.
