Orientation to animation class - Graphic production

We were introduced to the history of animation and how animation industry works. How was the past animation was and introduced for all kind of techniques people been using for making animation. 

Stop motion project

The project was intended so we know how the basic making of animation work. For this one we use the stop motion technique. It will be a short animation and we are allowed to use clay modeling for this project. 

We planned the ideas individually at first then come into bigger group and combine all the ideas. 

For this project we made a fun project involving pop singer Justin Bieber being beaten (sorry for the beliebers out there :p). The character itself were modeled with clay and we made the props also ourselves. The project was made in the special animation room which have fancy equipment so it was easy to set the props.

The "props" craft session

Here's is the finished video of our project, unfortunately no music or sfx for now. Please do open it on Youtube website for viewing the video. No Justin Bieber was harmed in the making of the video...just the clay suffered :p

The Verdict

I've learn how to make a stop motion film, which were helpful for animation, composition and figures practice. If I could do it differently it would be making it more simple, stronger concept rather than throw it all together and just do trial and error.
