Masks and such

So, I'm not super super happy with this. I had a lot of trouble making headway on this assignment. I thought about doing something like a luma maks with a video clip, but I really want to move away from using random footage from the internet and I didn't have any of my own. Perhaps I will do that anyway, though, for more practice.

At any rate, it took me altogether too long to figure out how to get the paint tool to work, and how to modify the masks's points after I'd created the shape. I ended up making this sort of practice animation of vines engulfing sleeping beauty as she also gets masked out in a heart shape. The heart shape has no significance. I drew the vines with the write-on tool using my tablet, but I want to go back and clean it up when I have more time (that is, if this clip does get used in our final project). I also plan to clean up the character art (if this is the version I finalize on!). Anyway. Short. to the point. Will look into more ways to explore these tools.
