this is my final outcome in the btec level 3 animation project and it is a stop motion animation
this is a link to my animation on youtube.

my stop motion animation was based on the subject of fashion and it is just a video of pictures to do with models and make up images being moved by my hands.

stop motion animations are when images or charaters are moved slightly repeatedly and photographed, so when they are put in cronological order and timed with a certain pace that the picture should move then it gives an illusion of movement.

 

some movies that involve the concept of stop motion are tim burton movies such as ' coraline, corpes bride, night mare before christmas and so on involed clay sculptures being moved contantly to create a movie. after all photos have been taken i had to take them and upload them on i movie in order and then changed the speed and edit the colours of the pictures

I also then had to add the music to my final outcome on i movie and then match the speed of the movie to the speed of the song. once doing that i had completes the stopl motion.

i definatly enjoyed creating my stop motion animtion because i find the process intreseting and i love seeing the end results. i also think this was the easiest form of art work for me to do involving actual movement and i think it is by far the most interesting.

if there was something i would change about my final out come was just another back ground setting would have made it look more interesting and more ideal for the subject of fashion.

some where through the end of making my animation i had heard a song by a band named bring me the horizon and this song reminded me of the animation that i had made a year ago while i ws still in high school. it was a flip book which uses a simalar technique to stop motion. after being reminded about my flip book animation i had then had another idea of an animation that i think would have been very intresting if i had gone through with the idea.

my idea was based on the transformation of bella swan in the movie twilight breaking dawn and it would be drawn out and photographed as the transformation is in progress and then as the images zoom in it would focus on her eyes opening then it would reverse and zoom out into images in someones eyes and it would zoom into a face preferbly being bella's face. as soon as we zoomed out of the images and out of her eye then it would show bella's face and then her facial expression changing into a violent angry 'bella'. the images of her tranformation would seem like memories of herself and what she went through.

i thought it would be a really great idea to accompany this with the song lyrics because the song talks about 'her eyes' which we would be focusing on and 'death' which is what she goes through to become what she is. i think the song would work well with my idea and i wish i had this idea earlier.

this is the song by bring me the horizon that gave me the idea

even though i had the idea i am happy with my original outcome.

adriel shape tween

                                     

                                        Shape Tweens

  a shape tween is morphing on image and another one together to appear to change into another shape over time. this creates movement. shape tweens are mainly made on flash and flash can tween the location, size and colours of shapes.

because this was my first time making a shape tween i used two simple shapes, a hexagon and a circle. 

i mad the hexagon morph into a circle by a process of marking how i want my shape to change and to do that i had to put markers on the top and bottom line of each shape and that allowed it to morph in a pleasant way.

i also made the colours change  the hexagon was purple and the circle was blue  

ANIMATION GIF 

Animated gif is a type of digital image. an animated gif is an image in the gif file format that appear to move or change. i had to make my animation gif based on a subject that is learnt at school and my subject was music. in the animation gif i then portrayed my self as a singer playing guitar and singing the words"i love you' at a concert. 

This animation gif was created by me taking pictures of myself at my house. To make the animation I had to take a series of pictures with things that give away the message of music and I used the title above my head "music". I also used music notes and speech bubbles to indicate that I am speaking however due to the music notes beside me that emerge as I speak, implies that I am singing a tune.

I also had an instrument with me and that strongly gives of the vibe of music and finally at the end I get up and receive flowers and curtsy that proves that I was performing. I think the mood of this gif is quite sweet and lively because of the speed of how the images change and the colours used that seem almost childish. 

to make the scenery for the gif I had to cut out speech bubbles and cut out the words music and cut out music notes I then stuck them on my wall as I continued to take the pictures repeatedly to create the illusion of movement. once having taken all my images I uploaded them on the computer, I then opened the images up on photoshop. I had to open them together and all in order so I did that. I then changed the speed to how Id like the pace to be. after doing that I made it repeat over and over again by changing the setting to "forever". 

I think that my animation gif was done to my best so far. I like how the back ground is red since red is my favourite colour and differentiates from other students gifs. I also like the subject I chose and the lighting even though it could have been lighter. I think it went successfully. The only thing I would change about my animation gif is more music notes and i should have added a micro phone to give a stronger feel of singing but other than that i am very happy with my accomplishment of the gif. 

G is for golden syrup _Adriel and Sherine

Animation gif

G IS FOR GOLDEN SYRUP

To make this video me and sherine used an i pad to create this video. we took pictures repeatedly of the process of using golden syrup to spread it and make typography with it by writing the words" g is for golden syrup" in the syrup.

how we made this animated gif was by using i pad to take pictures repeatedly. we used i motion to take the pictures and that app allowed us to take picture after picture immediately and after pressing save it automatically arranges the images in order with a certain speed. once saved we could edit the speed to suite our video so we could see the images properly. 

what i liked about this animated gif was how the words in the honey came out well and then faded away slowly i think that added a nice effect to the video. i also liked spreading the honey when making this animated gif it made the animation look kind of fun and definitely creative. i think however when making the letters they should have been more clearer.
