Scanning in my Artwork, ready to be animated

 I scanned all my painted objects into photoshop. I then had to manipulate the scans, in order to put it inot after effects.

 The main thing i had to do, was remove the paper background in the background of my objects (fish and others) so it was just the main object and nothing else

 I did this by using the Select menu, and selecting color range. Once that menu was brought up, i literally used the paint dropped tool to select the white coloured background, and pressed ok. After i clicked ok, it brought up the whole selection of the white background, then all i did was hit backspace, and it deleted the whole white background. Lastly, i had to go along with an eraser tool, checking all the edges and smudges that might have been left by the scanner, and simply rub them off. I have to do this on several scannings as well as my fish. (Tribal patterns, draggons, ying yang ball and my end image that shows my beer and logo.)
This was my end result on my fish:
