Animation Project: Day two

Jo

Me and my group are now in to the second day of our Animation project.

Today started off a little start struck, and within a few minutes we began to collect images of the things we wanted to include in our project. For example Sketches of apes, cavemen, robots etc. All of the imagery was found on a computer and the whole group was pleased with the images.

In our second lesson we began to produce our Mood boards further.
Jess- Made a mood board with the imagery we found earlier that morning, also she wrote the materials and story line that we all decided on the day before.




Vicky- Began to create a Mood board of drawings that she was inspired by, from the pictures we found. Vicky and myself also went to the Library and got some secondary research. Unfortunately i have no photo of Vicky's moon board yet, but it is coming together very nicely.

Jo (me)- Other than collecting secondary research with Vicky. I made a mood board on sketches with different composition of the characters we are thinking of using. I also added images that helped inspire me.


In the last lesson we we're all a little lost and confused. We all know what the story line is, and how we want it to work, but we got lost when it came to materials. We started off by using clay and taking images of how we we're thinking of layering out the starting title for the opening of our animation.
After doing that we moved on to using plaster scene. I speak the honest truth when it comes to that. We failed horribly! Well i know i did, i tried to accomplish a caveman... but... Yeah.

After lots of hard thinking me and Jess decided to use retro props. We discussed how they would move and look (this took awhile). Finally we came up with an idea that everyone loved.

Me and Jess took some parts of some retro dolls and placed them on a desk. We made the parts slowly move in to the doll, so that the parts would form a full sized doll again. While doing so we took pictures of what we did.

It took a wile, but we all got their in the end.
