Stop MotionAnimation video - Elf Outer-Space (with titles and credits)

This video is the same thing as in the previous post, but this one has titles and credits. It was done in iMovie by dragging the movie itself onto the timeline and dragging the title card effect onto the timeline at the beginning of the movie. Then we edited the text inside the card to give the movie a title. We then dragged the credits card effect onto the timeline at the end of the movie and gave the characters names.

This is the video that was created with the models we made. I worked with Ashleigh and Fareeda in this video.

Model Animation

Model animation is designed to merge with action footage to make it look like it is in real world. It has been around since the 1940s. An example of model animation is Wallace and Gromit, which started in the 80s.

Cell-Based Animation

This is an example of Cell-Based Animation.


Homer Simpson!! from leo finiels on Vimeo.

Cell Based Animation is when each cell is reproduced on clear see-through plastic. The Simpsons (created by Matt Groening) originally started as cell-based but Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs is a popular example as well as any other Disney movie. Every cell is hand drawn and coloured.

Some facts and figures about The Simpsons:

• Created by Matt Groening
• Started in 1989
• First appeared as a short on the Tracy Ullman Show in 1987

StopMotion Animation

Today we did a stop motion animation using cut outs from magazines. We used the program iStopMotion on the Mac computers and moved the cut outs slowly taking a new image each time (about 12 frames every second).  The camera we used was a special one for the Mac that only worked on FireWire. We have almost completed the video and it will be uploaded to Vimeo soon to be viewed on this blog.

Cut Out Animation

Research

1) Primary research is research that does not exist until you create it. It's the collection of data that does not exist. It may be done through experiments or case studies. It's research that you have done yourself instead of getting it from another source.

2) Secondary research is the collection of data from existing research which may come from the Internet or the library. It is research from a different source other than your own. It is also called desk research.

3) Time lapse is when a camera is set to take images every few seconds. Then the images are put together to create a time lapse. It records changes that take place slowly over time. When the frames are shown in normal time it appears faster.

4) Today we produced a stop motion animation of a series of hand movements. The camera took an image every 2 seconds. I worked with Josh and Emily in creating the stop motion animation and the program we used was IStopMotion, a program for Mac computers used for creating these types of movies.

5) This was the video that we produced:




6) This is a video produced by another person in the class, Timothy.

22nd September - StopMotion Animation

Today I made a stop motion animation movie. This is where a load of pictures are taken every few seconds and put together to make it look like it's moving but it actually isn't. me and my group made a movie doing hand movements while the program took pictures every 2 seconds. The video we made lasted 20 seconds. The Stop Motion Animation technique can also be used to make it look like an object is moving on it's own. There are programs that can do this including iStopMotion, which was used to create the movie today, but others are Stop Motion Pro which works with Windows.

Primary research is when you research something on your own, this can be from your own personal experience or other people's experiences. Secondary research is when you use something like the Internet or library to do research.

Persistence of Vision

Persistence of vision is a trick which fools the brain into seeing moving video when presented with still images at a rate of 10-30 FPS (Frames Per Second).
