Here is the start credit page which I have made for my animation, I created this in photoshop then brought it into aftereffects and animated the sparkles just to make it look more interesting.

I have added the credit start page as shown above to this animation, also I have added smoke to the car as it drives past.

In this animation I have added the car which drives past at the end.

On this animation it has got the car driving past at the end slowed down slightly as I thought it was to fast in the previous tests I done, I have also animated the road cone knocking over as the man swirls around the lamppost.

I will take a random few of my renders to show you the progress of my animation, this first one is off an added part to the character dancing.

Here I have added this animation to show the next part of the man dancing and swirling around the lamppost.

I decided after looking at my animation and talking to one of the tutors about it so far that I didn't like the way my silhouette turned into my character after all the work I have done with him as well!!! So I have decided instead to use the silhouette as my character with the eyes. I had already drawn another eight seconds of animation of the work man character doing his dance and then I had to start the whole animation drawings again with just my silhouette. As I decided this quite late on in the course I have also shortened the dance a bit so that I would have enough time to get it finished and not have to rush through it.

This stage in my animation shows the changes which I have done with my character not been a work man any longer but a silhouette instead, also of him jumping in the air. I have also shortened the part when he opens his eyes to look around as when my tutor seen it he advised that it was too long and would get boring very quickly, so I changed this to just the left eye opening looking around quickly and the same with the right, but left them both opening together out.

In this stage of my animation I have added a bit extra to when the silhouette turns into my character. I wanted him to have a bit of a beer belly like a lot of work men have!!! So because the silhouette obviously does not when my character changes he is breathing in and when he stands up his belly flops out. He also just has another quick look around and nods his head for the singing in the rain track to start.

In this one I have the silhouette come out of the sign and magically turn into my character, I don't like the way he changes into my character and will change this later to a puff of smoke or to stars glittering a bit like on my animatic.

This is the first stage for my final animation I will post them on in stages of my progression, this one shows the start with the people and cars driving past, also the silhouette in the sign opening his eyes to make sure there is no one about.
