Work What Jo Did

Joanna Staniforth used 74 hours on my film, and worked on the following areas of my film:

Pre Production Assistant: As already stated, Jo Staniforth was essential in editing the original animatic, shaving over a minute of footage off, which was urgently needed if I was to complete the film.  Her opinions and suggestions were also put to use to give my guinea pig more character.  Jo's support during the pre production process was greatly appreciated and much needed.

Sound Design: Claire and Jo assisted me in producing sound effects for my film.  Specifically, Jo helped with the creation of the drum kit falling.  She discovered various items that could be used for the desired effect, such as chairs, and suggested different ways in which sounds could be collected.

Colour: Jo offered early in the process to colour my frames.  No easy task, as my character originally had 6 main colours plus four additional colours for less common parts, such as the drumsticks.  This was cut to a total of five, mostly to ease her pressure.  On top of that, my character is incredibly fiddley, especially in long shots where he is quite small.

Despite this, she did a brilliant job of the colouring, and I am extremely grateful for the work she did in that department.  Above is an example of the final out come of the frames she coloured.

Additional Shaking and Shooting: During the post production process, while I was still working on Maya for my own film and Laurie and Rich's film, Jo offered her assistance by shooting in the inked frames and Shaking them.  This, again, was a real help.
