When you are colouring, or if you are still scanning your frames, please leave in the holes at the bottom of the sheet, even after removing the background or whatever - this is simply a way of making the compillation of frames easier, as it's simply a matter of overlaying the holes in flash. If you have already removed these holes from the frames, if you would kindly add markers onto the bottom of the sheets where the holes should be.
And to answer the questions that may spring to your mind, no, you won't be able to see the holes in the final film, since the bottom part of each sheet of paper does not fit into the aspect ratio. And the reason that I have only just decided to mention this is because I didn't think I would have to, as I viewed this as common sense. The I just realised that what I deem common sense may seem strange to others.
If you are still scanning, If you would kindly take into consideration the following:
- Scan in Black and white
- Scan at 200dpi
- Do not scan at 1024 by 576 - leave the aspect ratio alone when scanning.
When you are colouring:
- Scale the image to 1024 by 736 - DO NOT CROP THE IMAGE TO FIT THE ASPECT RATIO!
- Leave the holes in the bottom of the paper.
- Save as a PNG file, to keep transpancy
If you have already done all of this, Thank you.
If you haven't done this, if you would kindly do so, I would be very grateful.
Yours sincerely,
Andrew Stalley.
