MOCK ANIMATION
I used ABCYa to practice my animation on. For this i used different coloured (black and white) star shapes and animated them to show their body language, as shown the white stars are attacking the black star. I also changed the background to set the scene, so as a whole i did this to show the topic of racism. From this i have learnt that 2D is a lot different from 3D animation, 2D is flat and 3D is where you can see an object from different perspectives.
production Log
1. Today I started looking into animation and researched all the different animation types for example, 2d animation, zoetrope's etc. To give preparation for doing the Task 1 of our assignment brief.
2. Today I started making zoetrope’s, which took up the whole lesson.
3. I went onto an animation website today called ABCYa to start practicing animation as you can see at the top of the page. After I also started trying to think of a character to draw for my hand drawn animation.
4. Today I carried on making my hand drawn animation; I chose to do Mickey Mouse and also drew the background for the animation, which I completed all by the end of the lesson.
5. Today I put everything together using the pins for the different body parts to make the character move and I used a camera to take the pictures. For the animation I had to take a picture then move the mouse for the next picture so it seemed like it was moving. After filming, I went on the macs and I edited it together.
6. In the lesson I started writing task 1 for the assignment today and I have done a paragraph to explain what animation is.
7. For homework I went home and I did some more work on task 1 where I talked about zoetrope's, flipbooks and Cel animation etc.
