Copy - Lord Frith (Watership Down)


For my first copy I have chosen to take a scene from the beginning of the 1987 film, Watership Down. I have chosen this as I love the style of the animation and the way that it works well with the story telling at the start of the film.

To collect the image that I needed for my copy, I opened the film on my laptop and played it through until I found the right scene for my copy. I then took a screenshot and saved it to my desktop.


I then took the image that I saved into Photoshop and started to select the region for cropping the image down.


And when I was happy I cropped the image so it only showed the image from the film. Then using this image I started to create my copy. First I took samples of the different colours used by using the eye dropper tool and created a mark on a separate layer with each colour and organised them, so colours used together or overlapping would be grouped on this layer.

Here are some screenshots showing the different stages of coping the image:

And here it is! The Final Piece!
