Time Lapse

This is the Time Lapse that we created using an application on an iPad called iMotion which allows you to take pictures with the device every second of less depending on how you want your settings to be. During this video I was creating a quick image of different coloured pasta coming out of a plastic bag. Before we started filming the time lapse we had already cut out the pasta shapes so that the video is not so long. As I was drawing and sticking, the iMotion application was taking pictures of what I was doing around every second, so it ends up taking around about a couple hundred pictures for the whole video. As you can see above the video seems to have been sped up but that is only because it is showing all the pictures in a quick slideshow.

Final Animation List

For my final animation i'll need:

• iPad
• Plasticine
• Wire
• Phone

3 further inspiring animations

This is one of the stop motion animations that have inspired me because of the amount of detail that must have been put into making the final production. They must have had to move every little bead for the movement of every single arm swing and every step of walking. This inspires me to take more detail to the movement of my animation during the developmental process.



This is another inspiring stop motion animation where a lot of time has been spent on it, in fact 11 months to be exact as you will see towards the end. The amount of post-it notes also impresses me because they have used thousands of them to create this. It inspires me to think about how many props I will use and how long I should spend when doing my animation.



The last of the stop motion animations that inspired me is this one "Game Over by PES". This is because of the versatility of the props they use and the amount of props the use too. This will make me think about how many things are going to be in my final animation.

Stop-Motion Comparison

In my stop-motion comparison I will be comparing two videos which both consist of a food concept, one has Skittles and the other has a cup of coffe.
The artist of the first video 'Stopmotion Skittle Commercial' was 'jojogirl34' 

The artist has created an animation full of different things going on in some kind of adventure using skittles. I think she has used the techniques effectively because she has managed to advertise the product skittles and also make something that is fun and creative.
I like the artists work because of the media she has used (skittles) which are full of bright colours, this makes the video more exciting to watch and keeps you focused as well.  

The artist of this second video 'Coffee Time' is 'Wan Tzu'. The artist has made an animation which is a coffee machine being created from scratch out of some kind of card, then the coffee actually being made with string and a heart shaped bit of cream on top out of string too. The media that was used in this video was card and string. I like the artists work because it seems simple yet complexe. It is simple because its card being folded and unfolded but then complexe because of how many different layers that the machine has just to get it working.

Food Animation

I'm happy with my food animation because I managed to show off the Salsa and how I wrote 'S for Salsa' and because I was also able to complete it in time. I could improve on the animation by making it a little faster or finding out how to remove the still image in the background.

Politics gif

In the first stages of making the gif I had to get all of my props ready and also get dressed in my suit. I created the gif first of all by taking multiple pictures of me, frame by frame picking up each of the pictures. Once this was done I had to put all of my pictures into Photoshop together and use the 'Animation' tool to set the timing of the animation to around 1 second on each image so that they are briefly shown. This makes the images show all together like a a short animation. I also put it in an infinite loop which is what actually makes it a gif, I did this by clicking the 'Forever' setting.

My Animation works well because you can clearly see that it has something to do with politics, which is my theme. I was able to show some of the political parties as well. To make the animation longer I could have added more political parties.
