Traditional Japanese Doll Theatre, that had profound influence on Kabuki during its early development. Celebrated playwrights of the time would often prefer to write stories for the puppet theatre, these would later be adopted by Kabuki theatre. Popular Kabuki actors would study the movements of the puppets and incorporate the mannerisms into their own performance.

Akira Kurosawa.
So we finished our animation today, the bird song Steph found worked perfectly, and we had time to do some more work on the butterflies. We also adjusted the surround colour of the poster and included the endplates to finish it all off! Everyone did really well, and we definitely had fun making this project.
We decided we needed to meet up on Sunday at my flat to composite the animation. We did quite well, and managed to stay focused even though it was a beautiful spring day outside. We had to pull complete parts of animation from the many Flash files we were all working on and put them all together in After Effects. Tomorrow we’ll finish it off with some sound! We’ve listened to a variety of birds singing; blackbirds, blue-tits, cuckoos etc.
