Effect animation

Today I finished the very last shot that needed to be roughed out, which was the transformation sequence. I needed to somehow make her cloud sword appear, so I used a tutorial on how to animate smoke/dust and adapted it to what I wanted to do. I'm pretty happy with how it turned out for my first time animating any effects, but now I need to go back through all the frames and do the neat lines, then move onto the flat colours. 

The tutorial which I found useful was the one provided in the resources for animation effects:

For this shot some colours end up changing as Deedee transforms
this includes her hair, clothes, and shoes. To achieve this I will need to count out the frams and how many colours will be needed to smoothly transition from one to the other.

Hair: 40 Frames
Clothes: 22 Frames
Shoes: 30 Frames
