My First Model Based Animation With Credits

In Todays Lesson

Today in class i have edited the the model animation that i created and uploaded last week. I have now added an introduction and ending credits. I used the apple program iMovie to edit the video, it was very simple to use.
  I will post my new animation shortly.

Model Based Animation

Model based animation is taking a series of photos of models and slightly moving them or changing the way they look. When you play through the images it looks like the model is alive. Many things can me used to do this such as modeling clay, toys or any inanimate object.

A popular model based animation would be Wallace and Gromit

   Made by Nick Park of Aardman Animations

What is cell Animation?

Cell based animation generally has 25 frames per second. Somebody would draw each frame individually with slight differences. When cell based animation first started it was very time consuming to create even the shortest of animation. Now it has been made easier by computers, but the technology is expensive and only used by the industry.

the most famous Cell animation would be the work from Walt Disney

Pixalation Animation

Today in Animation

In class today in a group we created two short pixilation animations. The second animation was a more improved version of the first one. I will up load these videos from vimeo in my next post.

Pixilation Animation

Pixilation animation is a series of photos of one or more objects moving around. Each photo has a small difference in movement with gives the illusion that the object is moving in an un-natural way.

First Cut Out Animation

Todays Lesson: Cut Out Animation

In todays lesson in my group of myself, Dan Charlton, Amy Fall and Emily Tatters. We have created our first cut out animation. We have used the cut outs we made in our last lesson. To create the animation we used the software "iStopMotion". It is the first version of our animation, we will add sound at a later date. I have published the animation on Vimeo as "Our First Cut Out Animation version 1.0" and will post in in my next blog post.

In Animation Today

Today we have collected cut out images and have a basic idea on an a shot animation we can use them for.

My Group Video

This Video Time Lapse is by Me, Emily Tatters and Amy Fall

What is a Time Lapse?

A time lapse is a series of image showing a slow movement of change over a period of time. A camera is positioned in a location and takes photos are regular intervals, and when played back shows movement of time.

Time Laps

A group of us have created a time lapse in class using iStopMotion. We recorded 15 seconds taking a photo every 3 seconds. I have uploaded our video on www.Vimeo.com

This is not my Time Lapse, this is a video i like that i found on Vimeo.

Persistence of Vison

What is "Persistence of Vision"?
Persistence of vision is when the the retina retains what it has seen for a split second, around 0.4 of a second, after the image has been removed. Using a cerise of images one after the other, all with very slight differences, the brain can be tricking into thinking that the object is moving. The brain will fill in the gaps of the movement of the object, this is how animation is created. So you are seeing what has happened and what is happening creating a continues movement.
