CPT - Stop Motion Animation or Photoshop Animation (10%)
Stop Motion Animation
You will create a stop-motion animation using any appropriate subject of your choice. The animation will be shot using a digital camera and put together with a video editing software like iMovie. There is a minimum of 120 photographs and you must add sound - either music or sound effects.
When you import into iMovie you will set each photo to equal 0.1s you will need a minimum of 120 photographs.
You will also need to remove (or not add in the first place - the Ken Burns effect - that is the auto zoom in on each photo)
Preparation: Theme (no violence or crude subject matter), brainstorm options and objects needed, make a plan (story board), gather what you require (objects, props, characters).
Photographing: Shoot in landscape, should use a tripod, one photo per slight movement.
Animating: Arrange objects for each slight movement - creates illusion of movement.
Computer: Using a video editing software - arrange photos in order of action and add appropriate music/sound effects. (iMovie)
Examples:
flip book
The Nightmare Before Christmas (Tim Burton)
Wallace and Gromit shorts (Nick Park) (The Curse of the Were-Rabbit)
