Our Animation Story

out animation is about 4 very different characters (no name, keith, carmella and johno) who all decide to meet at starbucks for a drink, but once each of them have had some of the drink everything starts spinning and they end up back in prehistoric times with dinosaurs and what not. then one of them has the idea that maybe if they drink more of the drink then they will end up back at starbucks. but they cant find the drink so they end up searching for it then finding in on one of the characters and drink it and end up back in starbucks :)

Tuesday 1st December

Today we are carrying on with our animation project by thinking baout the scenery and sound effects and getting out blogs up to date :) x

Consequences

we played consequences were some one starts the being then you pass it on and carry on from the previous one. we done this with characters, were we started with a head, went to the waist, then to the bum and last done the legs and the feet. then at the end the last perosn coloured the character in and gave it a name and told us about it. After we done a consequences with a story, we were given the start of a sentence that had to finish it then pass it to the next person to start a new sentence so that you end up with a short story.

New Task

my task form now on in Generation of Ideas: to creat a story, and a drawn character for my animation.

Stop Frame Animation :)

Stop motion (also known as stop-action or frame-by-frame) is an animation technique to make a physically manipulated object appear to move on its own. The object is moved in small increments between individually photographed frames, creating the illusion of movement when the series of frames is played as a continuous sequence. Clay figures are often used in stop motion for their ease of repositioning.

Clay-Mation

Clay animation is one of many forms of stop motion animation. Each animated piece, either character or background, is "deformable"—made of a malleable substance, usually Plasticine clay. All traditional animation is produced in a similar fashion, whether done through cel animation or stop motion. Each frame, or still picture, is recorded on film or digital media and then played back in rapid succession. When played back at a frame rate greater than 10–12 frames per second, a fairly convincing illusion of continuous motion is achieved. While the playback feature creating an illusion is true of all moving images.

there is many examples of Clay-Mation like Walce and Gromit and Purple and Brown on Nickelodeon.

I think this is one of the best ways to do animationm as its fun, and easy to do. and gives a light hearted, realistic effect to it.
