Ive created a hand drawn stop motion piece showing a growing plant. I think this challenge set was easier for me to complete as i think drawing is one of my strengths, so i found it easier to work individually and learnt how to create a smooth animation using my drawing skills.
Here is some evidence of me drawing out my project.
Here is the final hand drawn stop motion animation i created:
I've also completed a pixelation animation in a group of 4 representing the 4 seasons, so have learnt the skill and completed the challenge i set. This meant that i learnt how to set up a camera and use lights to make the pictures look clear. I also learned how to connect the camera to a computer so we could see the previous image on the scene, whilst layering the present image on top to compare. This helped me to understand how one is made and what makes one look better or how to improve it. I also discovered what makes one look worse.
Final aim
To complete my final aim of creating a hand drawn rotoscope i will have to have access to a video camera, computer (movie maker), drawing paper and willing subjects to base my work on.
I plan to complete this in of a month, making a 15 second piece by working with a partner.
I have targets to make sure the animation has a base story for it including a soundtrack to be played in the background, and that the hand drawn animation is smooth but individual. I also target to get different camera angles and zooms on the original footage to give it more of an edge.
We will need to have access to the computers in the town hall so that we can copy the dancers in out footage exactly.
We will have to make sure that we have permission from the dancers guardians if they are under age, as we plan to take the children from the ballet school taught in the town hall.
Once we have finished our animation, we plan for it to be showed to an audience consisting of other BFI students, parents and our leaders of BFI in Wem.
Here is some evidence of our progress
Once we had developed our ideas we had come up with a scenario of 2 dancers, one older than the other. It starts with the older one lying down, but as the younger child spins in, we tried to portray the older one's soul leaving her body, like the young girl was collecting her and they are dancing souls.
This is when we were collecting our footage of the dancers
Then here we see me drawing over the original footage, creating a hand drawn rotoscope animation
Then we placed a music which we thought fitted the tempo we wanted to give off from the piece, which was a happy but thoughtful song.
My final version of the hand drawn rotoscope animation is at 8:20 in this clip.
