Stop motion session :)



In todays session We were in the stop motion suite. Using children's toys to create movement with the characters. In groups of 5 we made a stop motion animation on a photography set up with a backing light, using a programme called I can animate. 

We took each movement of the characters as a single shot and set it so that the previous shot was faintly visible whilst moving the character into the next position so that we could create a smooth animation. We then saved it but because of the programme it took the colour from the video and saved it as Black and White. but on the colour video the way the light hit the pig in the end shot was very powerful and effective, and helped to show the Pigs victory. 
When doing my final animation I will certainly consider lighting and the way it connects to the characters and scenes of the animation.

My brother saw this video and said he liked it because It didn't make sense and that it reminded him of the cravendale advert on the telly.
