Research,ideas,story boarding

Today,our group were talking about ideas,making some research work, before we started with story boarding. We draw individually our story board.

Last week we have finished our animation: The Band

We made this as a group,and I was part of this group.

I have uploaded to my youtube account.

We are ready to move on to next level.

Show Racism the Red Card

Good morning,

I missed College last week,I need to catch up with the others.

Our topic for the new project is "Show Racism the Red Card",over the the next few week we will be exploring various model making techniques suitable for 3D animation:

1. Mod roc
   
2. Wire
   
3. Plasticine
   
4. Backdrops/props

Animation Techniques

Morning,

just a couple words about animation techniques.

Drawn animation: the oldest and historically the most popular form of animation(for example, Popeye the Sailor and Betty Boop cartoons)often called traditional animation. 

Cut-out animation:using flat characters, props and backgrounds cut from materials such as paper, card, stiff fabric or even photographs. For example Charlie and Lola,or South Park.

Model animation or stop motion animation: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. Stop motion animation using clay is described as clay animation or clay-mation. For example Vallace and Gromit -clay animation,Robot Chicken-stop motion animation.

Computer animation or computer generated imagery(CGI): is the art of creating moving images with the use of computersan image is displayed on the computer screenand repeatedly replaced by a new image that is similar to the previous image, but advanced slightly in the time domain (usually at a rate of 24 or 30 frames/second). This technique is identical to how the illusion of movement is achieved withtelevision and motion pictures. For example Toy Story,Ice Age.

ROTOSCOPING:One classic use of traditional rotoscoping was in the original three Star Wars films, where it was used to create the glowing lightsaber effect, by creating a matte based on sticks held by the actors. To achieve this, editors traced a line over each frame with the prop, then enlarged each line and added the glow.
