Editing

        As this is the most complex animation so far, it is the first time that I have had to contend with editing. The process of ensuring that the numerous shots flow together smoothly, without jarring, has been surprisingly tricky, and I have had to trim down some shots and change the pacing of others to eliminate unwanted pauses.
 
        Another unforeseen challenge was cutting down a two and a half minute piece of music to fit a 40 second title sequence, as inevitably the chosen section of the piece will not have a defined start/finish, or ease/out at precisely the moment you wish. To find the optimum beginning and end required a lot of trial and error, moving the music frame by frame.  
 
        Although the finished result is no doubt a little raw, hopefully with practice my editing skills will improve, and the results will become more professional.
