Then every toys stop what they are going and walk to the end of the table and bowing down to their leader then it pans to see who they are doing that to.

Evaluation

I this project we had to make a stop motion animation in groups of four. When we got into groups of four we had to pick what type of stop motion animation we are going to do after that we share out what parts people are going to do in the group then when they finished to send it to everyone after so everyone has the work.

What I had to do is come up with a company name by doing a mind-map with different ideas for names after I picked what name we are going to use, I went and did a logo for the company so people will know what our company called. Before we could start the animation we had to do a storyboard so it would be easier to shoot the animation.

The software that I'm going to edit the animation on is premiere pro because you can edit it in detail and it can cut down the pictures more so then don't look like they have just took pictures that they are actually moving normally. As well as that we have to add some sounds and music in it so make it look like a little movie.

The parts that went well in the animation was doing the planning and picking what we are going to do and what things we need to do before we start to take the picture for the animation.

The parts that didn't go well was being in the group because no one was actually working on the project I was the only one working on it and then when it came to filming no one had the objects they got ask to bring in and they haven't done the plans so I had to wait for them so I said to everyone should make their own video instead of doing it as a group because the people that are up to date can do the video and the ones that aren't doing it can do it in their own time.

If we do this again I would make sure that the people I work with that actually will do the work and I won’t have to do all the work myself and have them sitting there taking the credit for the work I have done, as well as that make sure everyone knows what they are going to do and what they need to do.

Log

We had to get into group of four and then we had to pick what we are going to do for our animation, after we pick what we were going to do we share what work we needed to do and after we did that we send the work to each other and added it to our blog.

We are starting to plan what we are going to do for our animation. We started by doing  mood board on the equipment we needed and then made up a storyline making sure that we have put the things in that we have picked.

After we did that we came up with different names for our company name we plan it out as a mind map and then after we picked our name we name it into a logo as well.

We are planning what parts we need to film first and when we are going to film and who is bring in what.

We pick that we are going to film week next and we know who bring what in and as well who doing what when filming the animation. We was supposed to film last next but no one bring in toys and I was the only one that did so it was hard to film when only one person brought stuff in.

Hopefully we are going to film today because we need to start to edit the animation because we don't have long before we have to hand it in.

last week the two people in or group thought we were going to film but when we got in a ready but the other people weren't they didn't bring anything in and they were doing other work instead so that's when we thought about doing two different animation.

Our group have pick to do two different animation videos because two of us are waiting or the others so we can start to film but they are not doing anything so we pick to do two different one so then the two that what to finish can and the other one can do it in their time.

We are taking pictures at home and then in the lesson we put the picture together and make the animation.

No one was doing what we pick so I said I rather do the filming on my own and they do their own one to we have different videos.

When we pick doing the animation video on my own i went and told the teacher about it and she said that I can do it during the easter holidays, so then i can finish up the planning ready to start taking pictures.

We are started to edited the film for the animation because we was having trouble uploading the pictures to the computer so we had to wait until it let us edit we had to go on different editing softwares to find one that lets us edited our film. 

target audience/ target audience board

The target audience for our stop motion animation are 4-14 because in the animation there are police chase and car toys racing about , there's a teddy bear tea party and stuff blowing up. The gender is both female and male because there are all type of things girls and boys like in the animation, We put the age to 4-14 because younger children like them kind of toys and they would sit down and watch it and as well as that they will find it funny and amazing because of the lego car chase and it is not a real car chase they are all toys and they will find it amazing and the girl would like the teddy bear tea party.

As well as they have the best imagine at that age so they will find it funny and they might think that stuff like might actually happen up there if we made it for older people they wouldn't really find it funny and they haven't got the best imagine than younger children have.

Younger children play with toys more than older people do so we made it that younger children can watch it and their parents don't have to watch it with them because it hasn't got bad things in it.

This is the target lifestyle board of what age and gender might watch the animation.

different types of animation

2D

2D computer graphics is the computer- based generation of digital images- mostly from two- dimensional models such as 2D geometric models, tet, and digital images and by the techniques specific to them.

2D computer graphics are mainly used in applications that were originally developed upon traditional printing and drawing technologies, such as typography, cartography, technical drawing, advertising, etc. In those applications, the two-dimensional image is not just a representation of a real-world object, but an independent artifact with added semantic value; two- dimensional models are therefore preferred, because they give more direct control of the image than 3D computer graphics

CG

Computer graphics are pictures and movies created using computers- usually referring to image data created by a computer specifically with help from specialized graphic hardware and software. it is a subject of computer science and a recent field.

Important topics in computer graphics include sprite graphics, vector graphics, 3D modeling, shaders, GPU design, and computer vision, among others. The overall methodology

Stop motion

Stop motion also known as stop frame is an animation technique to make a physically manipulated object or persona 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. Dolls with movable joints or clay figures are often used in stop motion for their ease of repositioning. Stop motion animation using plasticine is called clay animation or clay-mation. Not all stop motion requires figures or models; many stop motion films can involve using humans, household appliances and other things for comedic effect. Stop motion using objects is sometimes referred to as object animation.

Introduction

What we are going to do in this assignment is to make animation with any of these three title Rocket Number 9 or What's in the attic or Egg and spoon when we pick what one we are going to do, after picking what we are going to  do we had to plan it all out showing everyone what we are going to do in our animation. Then after all the planning we will start to make the animation bit by bit.

We had to get in groups of four so then making the animation will be more easier to do it because one person can take the picture and the other can move the parts about where they need it.

moodboard

this is our moodboard for our animation we are going to do

equipment list

The following equipment we will need:

• camera
• clay/plasticine 
• paper
• scissor 
• lego
• tooth floss
• toys
• teddy bear
• dinosaur
• cars

These are the equipment we need when filming our animation 

storyline

The story line what’s in the attic?

So the idea we have so far is everyday objects, doing human activities which involves:

1.       Paragliding – jumping of books or shelves

2.       Climbing – mountains, laptop, buildings

3.       Toy car driving

4.       Toy soldiers- fighting away

5.       Toy dinosaurs – vs soldiers

6.       Zombies coming out of the flooring

7.       Teddy bears

8.       Rockets – exploding things

9.       Lego buildings and figures

10.   Action figures

11.   Police chase Sylvania families vs zombie police squad or Lego squad

The ideas above listed are some of many ideas we came up with, but our main ideas we like are a police chase between Sylvania family’s vs zombies.

Scene 1 – starts off with a boy thinking about what's in the attic and then goes white.

Scene 2-  a book mountain stash, with tissues placed on top like snow, and then see a climber climbing the mountain, at the top of the mountain a Lego man power gliding.

Scene 3- zombie police chase between the zombies and sylvanian familes on cart, and zombies crash and get out and run and trip.

Scene 4 – teddy bear tea party

Scene 5 – toy soldiers shooting at dinosaur which tramples the tea party

Scene 6 – lego towers destroyed by rockets

Scene 7 – toy cars driving about in rally race

Scene 8- all toys move towards the edge of a dusty table to start bowing down to their leader. And then start to chant praise her and then we see who she is (Lorna Spicer. )

He was born in McMinnville, Oregon, near Portland, He has won an Oscar for his work, and several Emmy Awards and Clio Awards for the work of his studio. Meeting clay animator Bob Gardiner in the Berkeley, California area in the early 1970s, Vinton brought his to Portland and the two commandeered Vinton's home basement to make a quick 1 and a half minute test film of clay animation and the supporting armatures called Wobbly Wino, system for animating his Boles Rex-5 16mm camera and the to began work in mid-1973 on an 8-minute 16mm short film about a drunk wino who stumbles into a closed art museum and interacts with the painting and sculptures. Completed in late 1974 after 14 months of production, the innovation film combined Gardiner's amazing sculpting skills with Vinton's considerable camera skills and Closed Mondays stunned film festival judges around the world. Close Mondays then won an Oscar for best animated short film in the spring of 1975, the first film produced on Portland to do so.


Still with only a handful of animators, Vinton produced a highly polished trilogy of 27- minute fairy tales in the late 1970s and early 1980s; Martin the Cobbler in 1977, Rip Van Winkle in 1978, and The Little Prince in 1979, The 3 films were later collectively theatrically released under the title Trilogy, then to video as The Little Prince and Friends.

this is my mood board for stop motion animation

Proposal

What we are going to do in this project is to make a stop motion clip and the themes are Rocket Number Nine, What's in the attic? and Egg and Spoon and we had to get in groups and pick one if them and think about what we are going to do with it and as well as that we have to come up with a company name and logo. We can make it how we want to e.g. clay or toys ects and we take picture by picture then after we finished taking all the pictures we put them on to the computer and edited and add music to it. before we can do the animation we have to plan it all out and share the work with other people in the group to then we can do the animation and then we have more time to edit the stop motion to make it look good.

logo

This is our logo for our company. We put the cheeky in different type of style writing to make it look go and stands out, We choose the rainbow colour camera to show that we are doing something in media. 

company names mindmap

We come up with different names for our company and what will go well with what we are doing. We pick cheeky production.
