This was long over due here are two versions of the toy car That Erica asked me to do. I animated this storyboard to see which version was better 

Test Animation with Timecodes

Gerald_BG19_Gerald_walking_testAnimation24fps

30 frames per second

Gerald_BG19_Gerald_walking_testAnimation30fps

First painted background!

Here is the revised layout of the opening! There will be a tree overlay in the foreground that will pan in front of Gerald's house.

Note to Animators:

Please number frames on key framed animation video clips.
Need for critique and timing.
Thank You

Naming files

When sending files this is how they should be labeled. Doesn't need to be exact, just consistant.

Gerald_Background#_subject_object_stage_###.ext

1. Backgrounds (BG) - there are 20 backgrounds- when lableling if you don't know background write Scene number (Sc)
2.  Subject = Prop, Character (Name of character) Object (obj), background (BG), Storyboards (SB), Naration (s.voice), Sound Efect (s.FX)
3.  Object /action = examples: broom, run, skatboard... 
• sound - first 3 words abreviated or sound effect name
4. Stage = sketch/ layout/ color/ final/ other
5.  number = Always label w/ 3 extention numbers 

Examples:
Background = Gerald_BG#_ subject_#.ext
Gerald_BG19_Sketch_002.jpg

Prop = Gerald_BG#_prop_name_#.ext
Gerald_BG12_prop_broom_001.png

Single frame character = Gerald_BG#_ characterName _ action_frame#.ext
