The Brief was about exploring animation. I was looking
through a lot of newspaper articles the initial attraction of my article was that
it was such a heart-warming story and I love animal’s especially cats. To
create my animation I used black and white card and cut out the shapes using a
cutting knife. To make sure my camera
stayed in the same position I used a tripod. I got my idea from when i was
doing the cut-out workshop what I really liked about this was how it created an
effect almost like a shadow puppet. The animation technique inspired me to
create a cut out just using the silhouettes of the Lions and objects. The app I
used to create my animation was i-motion the problems I had would I could not
get it to save to my phone cause I did not have enough space on my phone so I
had to delete some stuff I did not need. The colours I used in my animation
contrast with each other which creates a stand out effect. The imagery I used
in my animation all linked to the animals habitat. The mood I wanted to create
from my animation was a sad start when the lions our being captured then as
progress further thought the story and they get rescued the mood I wanted to be
created is joyful. What I think went well was that my animation flowed
smoothly. The thing that I think could be improved is having words so that some
bits were not confusing. What I learned from this project was wide range of techniques
in animation that I had never even thought off for example chalk animation and
object animation. Also I learned the different types of animation programs I
can use to create animations. Using the blog to record my process was effective
because I could add gifs and videos but I thought I was bit awkward to add
things such mind maps and other hand drawn stuff.
