Animation edited

Here is A animation that I edited myself. i did this by dragging the original into Imovie then making a new project and clicking on blank because you get a choice of themes of your animation for your animation I will show you a printscreen of what exactly I am trying to explain here if you dont get it fully. Here is some of the choices that will give you
you when you start to make your project and edit it, if you scroll down you will find more of a variety of different themes. There is themes going from horror to comedy and much more.

you will get something along these lines when you choose what project theme that you wish to choose.

you add text to the parts where you wish to put it by writing in the area that is kind of yellow and what you write will appear onto the screen.

But i did not do this, I chose blank and by choosing blank you dont get this area that looks like this you get this.

I just chose what clips i wanted to put in by clicking on the starting area of the clip, your clips are located under the box. you click the starting area of the clip you want and drag it until the area you wish to end it at, then you drag it into the top area.

I added effects into mine and the way I added effects and writing into mine, the way you do it is by dragging the effect or text theme into the area you want it to be located and write into it or if you have added a effect you wont have to do anything. This is what you click, you either click the "T" if you want to add writing or you click the kind of icon that looks like a tv screen and is square shaped, that will put you onto the area where you choose your effects

Short animation

This is a short animation that was put together over two lessons in total. There was me and Ryan in a small group and we looked through magazines for different kind of images that we wanted for our animation. It taken us around thirty minutes to get what exact images we wanted out of the magazines. We then cut them out of the magazine. We Used portable cameras that were easily attached to the computer through a usb cable. We then opened iStopMotion 3, We placed the camera in a perfect spot for our animation so it worked and you could only see the table and not the floor or anything else, just the cut outs we got. We then figured out what exactly we wanted the character to do. We made the character we made the character walk across the screen, we gave it the effect as it was bobbing up and down. We couldn't find any feet for the character so we made it so the bottom part of his body could not be seen on the screen. We then exported it onto shared public so Ryan could get it and upload it onto his blog because we made the animation on my computer.

Animation Ideas

                                       

"Fallen Kingdom" - A Minecraft Parody of Coldplay's Viva la Vida (Music Video

"Take Back the Night" - A Minecraft Original Music Video

I am watching animations like this because its giving me ideas of what kind of animation I want to make and up to now i am thinking of making some kind of parody of a song.

Here are some print screens of minecraft animations, I am not making A animation that will be made with this kind of software, i am using clay or cutout or maybe lego.

I have decided I am going to use lego as my animation.

Ideas for my animation.

Idea 1

my first idea is going to be a parody of some song that I can use and I am going to use lego for it so it is going to be like some of the videos I have shown on this blog but not as complicated as them because that would be nearly impossible for me to do and it will be very time consuming. Thats why I have chose to use lego for my animation. this will be around 30 seconds long 

Idea 2:

I could use some kind of fight seen where there is someone walking down the road and far away out of view there is a guy with a sniper getting ready to take him down, when he is given the order to do so this will be around 30 seconds long and it will be made with lego

Chosen Song

I have chose to do my idea 2 because it seems like the best idea to use 

Proposal

Working Title:

The assassinator 

Outline

There is a guy walking down a road with hills at eat side and there is another guy on top of a hill and he snipes him when he is given the order to do so

Genre

Action

Materials

Two images that are on the internet that are a road and a hill

Target Audience 

The target audience for this animation is pretty much teenagers because of the small amount of violence it isnt recommended for kids under the age of 10. People who like movies such as the "the shooter" which has a scene kinda like this on it, this is where I got this idea from.

Backgrounds

Images I will be using for my animation. The first one is for when the guy is walking down the road and the second one is where the guy who is shooting him is hiding. I will explain it more here and how it is gonna work I am gonna be making this with Lego and there will be two characters. on the first scene the guy will be on the road walking up it and that scene will be on for around 10 seconds or so I will add some actions on what he does on the bridge and how he acts as if someone is watching him but he just doesn't know where that person is on the second picture that is where the guy with the gun will be. You won't see him at the start he will come over the hill from behind so he will slowly appear onto the screen.

How long will it take to do?

I will probably get this done in around a week or so, the animation because I need to find the props but that will probably be rather easy because for this I do not need many props just lego, Camera, Background and that is probably it unless something else might come in useful as I am doing it or I might think of something I might want to add into it whilst I am doing it that might make it better than it originally would of been from what I first thought of. 

All this preparation has taken around 2 weeks because I needed to think of what kind of short animation I wanted to do and some of the props I needed, characters, the audience for my short animation and where the animation is going to be based so the backgrounds I will be using for this. 

This animation will probably be around 30 seconds long but I am going to try and stretch it out and make some scenes longer so it wont end as fast

Clay Animation

This is a simple animation that involved me, Ryan and James. all we did in this animation is making some simple models using clay and then just move them slowly and each time you move them slowly take a picture.

This was not a story or anything it just was two characters that me and james made in around 30 minutes and all we did was start with them off the camera and slowly move them onto the screen.

I think this animation turned out good we did not hit any problems except one that the models kept on falling over but apart from that it was fine.

Animation
