My idea for my animation is...

A police man putting clothes on but he puts on a skirt instead of his trousers.
To make it better i will cut the arms and legs and animate then as well as the body.
This will make it better and also improve the finished product.
Last lesson we did some animating using the Cannon 600d and pictures from magazines.
Using the camera we moved the images and then to a picture and moved the imagine and took a picture, it was very basic but the technique applies to modern day animation.






We were able to keep the images still and the camera mounted using the cambo camera stand which helped the camera stay in the same position insuring that if the played the pictures in a sequence you would see the animation effect.





Also we used  bowens gemini lighting to light up the magazines cut outs and not the room lighting as it gives it a different effect, making the background white and keeping your attention on the moving images. It also adds to the animation effect allowing you to see the movement.

stop motion

stop motion sometimes referred to as stop acting is an animation technique  used to make a static object appear to move on its own.

The static object is moved little by little this creates the illusion that it is moving on its own when the frames are played as a continuous sequence.

Clay is usually used because it is easily manipulated.

I'm going to use cut outs and drawings to make the animations,
the video before is an example of where this project will lead
as it gets more complex.

Right now i will start off by making it simple and easy just using the rostrum camera.
