Evaluation

Overall i am happy with my final piece. It was the first time i had done any animation so i enjoyed it quite alot. It gets tedeous at times but i think its good when a piece comes together. I think my soundtrack worked really well with the jerkyness of the film, as the pitch was always up and down and the camera was moving around, but the music was also very flowing and thats why i used the line running around the body. I tried to make it as if the music started when the hand opened and stopped when the othe hand closed, whilst in the middle the line was representing the flow and movement of the music. I had some problems with cutting it down to 30 seconds, the original one was longer with the sound track but i had to cut some frames to fit it in the 30 second barrier. Overall i am very happy with the outcome and will definatly take the skills i have used during this project and experiment in the future with more animation.  

Final Animation

This is my final animation with the sound track. Overall i am very pleased with it, apart from a few issues i had with cutting it down to 30 seconds.

Here it is.



Final Animation (Without Music)

This is the animation i have done to supercede the storyboard i drew up. This shall be my final idea as it is the best animation i have done that fits best with the music.

I was really impressed with the way it came out to be honest. I like the jerkyness thats why i chose to do stop motion. I shall now go and put my soundtrack to it and fit it accordingly.

Final Animation Storyboard

This is the first section of my storyboard. It starts with a hand that turns around and opens, Then a black spot appears and a line starts to protrude out of it. By the last frame on this page the line has wrapped itself around the finger and the camera has moved to a lowwer angle to capture it.

This is the second section of my storyboard. By this point the line has travelled up the arm and onto the neck and face. In the last frame on this page the camera has taken an airel view to capture the line going in one side of the mouth and out the other.

This is the third and final section of my storyboard. Here the line has travelled out of the other side of the mouth and down towards the hand. In the final frame the line has finish in a black spot like it started an the hand is closed. The camera repeats the angle from the beggining but on the other hand.

PES

PES is an animator that uses stop motion. In this clip he utilises household objects as if they were food. I really like the fluid motion that he achieves in his work and the bright colours hes uses, especially in this clip. He has gave me insight into alot of different camera angles i can use so i shall go forth and put them into practise.
