Claymation

This is my final video of 3D animation using clay.

When we 1st started this we were asked to make 'morph' but when I did this i found it too difficult because I couldn't make the body or the arms or legs, so I made a snail instead which looked quite good. Also in the video is Tom's morph couldn't stand up on its own so we put it in a tin can which made it look like the Doctor Who character 'Davros' and Aaron struggled with making his morph as well but Mike helped him and made an elephant which is in our final video as well. We also made a football so we decided to have the elephant and snail playing football. Then because Davros is evil we decided to kill the snail.

This is the 1st time I've used clay for animation and I struggled making a morph but I was adaptive and made something else which looked good.
Hopefully next time I will be able to make something better than a snail and make an actual morph or something similar to it.

I think I adapted well to not being able to make a morph.


This is my 2nd time using istopmotion so I found it quite easy to use compared to the 1st time so we got the animation done quite quickly. We also exported it as a quicktime so it can be shown on any computer at anytime. I also exported it as quicktime from istopmotion then edited it in 'imovie' to add sounds and titles and make it neater.

We got our inspiration from 'morph' which was claymation and got asked to make our own morph which was also stop motion animation, so we sort of copied that and made our own version.

Cut out animation

We drew some pictures of what we wanted to be in the animation and then cut them out, made a background and cut out bits we wanted to move. it took us a while to think what we were going to do then we thought of a fish jumping out of its bowl into a tank with a big fish/shark that ate it as it came in. we drew the things we used on an a4 paper then cut it out and put them on the back ground of an a3 paper. We cut out the goldfish, a few splashes, the shark, the bowl and the tank.

We used istop motion to take the frames, had everything in place, took a picture then moved something things slightly but not too far so we made it look smooth, after we did that we put it into 'imovie' then added sound affects into it to make it look better.

We exported it using quicktime so it was a good quality video rather than anything else because it was on a mac it may not work on some computers so it would be better to export it as a quicktime so it can be watched on any computer to show and maybe edit.

Today was a good day of practicing animation because I have never done it before and it was good fun and can now understand what goes on for cartoons. I found it quite easy making it in istopmotion because all you did was get the image where you wanted it then clicked it to take a picture and just move it slightly each time and it showed you wear the last frame was shot so it was easy to edit if something went wrong.
