In this project, I wanted to put myself and my martial arts trainer into the well known retro game "Street Fighter". Seeing as the only way I could beat my trainer is virtually, I thought it would be a fun thing to do. Below is the process I went through, plus the final video.
I started creating my own Sprite Sheets. I only needed 2 characters facing both left and right but this was a timely process to get all the movements in. The characters were pixelated to give it the "Arcade" look and feel, so I set my pencil in Photoshop to 1 pixel to obtain the desired retro effect.
I then decided to make my own custom "stage" whereby the characters would fight. I obtained a picture of an iconic location of my city (Newport, South Wales) and then pixelated it.
From there, I added the characters in, aswell as the power bars and an "insert coin" sequence to the top left of the screen. I then created an animation timeline and tied them all in together.
Below are some screen grabs of the fight scenes included in the animation timeline
I then exported the animation by using the render video in Photoshop, I then imported it into Premiere Pro whereby I added the sound effects and music.
Below is the final product:
Thanks for appreciating!
