This link shows a simple video of the game, where the camera shot is continuous. This seemed an effective layout for our own animation.
This also provided a story that we could use, with rounds in a battle, different bosses, a dungeon setting and dark lighting with a spot light focusing on the characters.
This is the intro to the first battle, featuring the 'Scorpion'. We found this plaster set, which was perfect as a background for the battles to take place. The mirror was found and used for the floor. This was improvised but we think it looked quite effective.
To add to the effect of playing a game, we wanted to add the health bars at the top of the screen. We had seen that you could add backgrounds and foregrounds to your work, in stop motion pro. So we looked for online instructions of how to add our own.
We used a picture from google images of the combat screen from mortal kombat. Using photoshop we were able to create the foreground, which we then imported into stop motion pro.
We had to create new project for each battle as the forground was added to the entire animation. But the short animations could be edited, in final cut pro, later.
In this way we were able to do all the intros then battles for each character.
