Other: can be better timing 

Summary:
Animation - 47
Sound - 34
Editing - 44

This means that people thought that the animation was the best part, with editing a close second.

I am please with this - sound was the part I enjoyed doing the most, but I also put a lot of work into the actual animation and editing.

Some people thought there was too much swearing. I can accept this, and I if I was to do it again, I would probably take the swearing out. Certainly, for my next animation, I would drop the swearing.

My stop motion is not as good as this on but i am to get as good as this.

I think that this is better than mine because the actual animation is more fluent, and they would have had a lot more time spent on it - months of work, instead of the hours of work that I had available. The animators themselves are professionals who would have had much more experience. Also, the software and hardware used would have been at a much higher standard than anything I have at home.

However, it would be great to think that one day I could do animations as good as this!

to finish off for first assignment




This is an animation sequence made by mself using Bionicel Models

Model animation made using platicine from "The Trap Door"

How to animate using 3d models:

1. Make the models
2. Se the models up in the background and take a still picture
3. Move the models slightly
3. Move models up to 30 times or frames for each second of animation

When this plays back the still images will give the impression of movement


Cels

Cels are sheets of clear plastic which were very popular in animation before computers did a lot of the work. A cel could allow you to put the sheet over a drawing and trace  - so not everything had to be drawn from scratch.

The drawings were first made on a sheet of paper and put over a light box to help them look transparent.

Then the drawingts were traced on a cel and the edges inked up (called trace and paint)

The the cel was turned over and the back painted with special paint called acrylic

The cel was then photographed and the process repeated with tiny changes to each drawing on the cell. 

When played back, in sequence it would look like it was moving. However, it took up to 30 separate drawings for every second of animation.

from Tom and Jerry



Persistence of Vision
This where the brain can be tricked into thinking that a series of images played at 1/12 of a second or less in sequence will look like they are moving, rather than a series of still images.

This the best video that George Melies mad in his courier. He is the one how mad the jump cut in editing.
