YAAAAAAY

Managed to get some wire from the art departed, and make a basic armature. I still need to get some wood for the feet, I cut myself a few times :(

I did a owen.

bugger

I forgot to remind andrea to leave wire and stuff in which to make an armature, so I am going to have to see if I can get any from anywhere. If not I will have to do more reaserch :/

YARRRRRRR.

Great way to create a armature out of wire, glue and a bit of wood. It involves using a drill which I never use so it may be a bit difficult. Please excuse the bad rave in the video :')

for keith


Since he doesn't know who ol' Flozza is.
Also to make this relevent, Florence was the inspiration for my main character autumn.

Since,

It is rather difficult to sync up recorded voice with the animated model, I am going to narrate the animation rather than have voices of characters. Don't worry! I shall put up the outline of the animation story SOON!

Love the style, but a tad to gothic for my taste.
Stereoscopic stop motion

Stop motion has very rarely been shot in stereoscopic 3D throughout film history. The first 3D stop motion short was In Tune With Tomorrow (also known as Motor Rhythm) in 1939 by John Norling. The second stereoscopic stop motion release was The Adventures of Sam Space in 1955 by Paul Sprunck. The third and latest stop motion short in stereo 3D was The Incredible Invasion of the 20,000 Giant Robots from Outer Space in 2000 by Elmer Kaan and Alexander Lentjes. This is also the first ever 3D stereoscopic stop motion and CGI short in the history of film.
The first all stop motion 3D feature is Coraline (2009), based on Neil Gaiman's best-selling novel and directed by Henry Selick. The film is produced by Nike shoe founder Phil Knight's Laika animation studio in Portland, Oregon, formerly Will Vinton's claymation studio.

Go motion

Another more-complicated variation on stop motion is go motion, co-developed by Phil Tippett and first used on the films The Empire Strikes Back (1980), Dragonslayer (1981), and the RoboCop films. Go motion involved programming a computer to move parts of a model slightly during each exposure of each frame of film, combined with traditional hand manipulation of the model in between frames, to produce a more realistic motion blurring effect. Tippett also used the process extensively in his 1983 short film Prehistoric Beast, a 12 minute long sequence depicting a herbivorous dinosaur, being chased by a carnivorous dinosaur. With new footage Prehistoric Beast became Dinosaur! in 1985, a full length dinosaurs documentary hosted by Christopher Reeve. Those Phil Tippett's go motion tests acted as motion models for his first photo-realistic use of computers to depict dinosaurs in Jurassic Park in 1993. A lo-tech, manual version of this blurring technique was originally pioneered by Wladyslaw Starewicz in the silent era, and was used in his feature film The Tale of the Fox (1931).

Computer generated imagery

The almost universal use of CGI (computer generated imagery) has effectively rendered stop motion obsolete as a serious special effects tool in feature film. However, its low entry price, and still unique "look" and "feel" on film means stop motion is still used on some projects such as in children's programming, as well as in commercials and comic shows such as Robot Chicken. The argument that the textures achieved with CGI cannot match the way real textures are captured by stop motion also makes it valuable for a handful of movie makers, notably Tim Burton, whose puppet-animated film Corpse Bride was released in 2005.

My 10 week plan

Stop Motion Animation

Week 1:  Reaserch different animation techniques, Plan storyline for production, Start to sketch Possible characters and look into materials/technology that will be used.

Week 2: Start storyboard and script, Futher reaserch, Start creating characters and planning set.

Week 3: Plan Talent, Continue making models and sets, Plan music (if any) or possible effects. Finish script!!!

Week 4: Continue sets/characters, Start photoshop work, start filming/plan web design.

Week 5: Continue sets/characters, Start website, plan DVD cover/DVD menu and continue filming.

Week 6: Continue sets/characters/website/filming, Start DVD products and start recording talent.

Week 7: Continue sets/characters/websites/filming/DVD and finish talent recordings.

Week 8: Finishing website/filming/DVD, start to edit, Start peicing folder together.

KATE BUTSSSSSSSSSS

I intend to create a character, based on a mix of Kate Bush and Florence Welch. Essentially a hippy.

Right!

I have to be serious, I am creating a full feature stop motion animation film for my FMP. Currently, I am researching techniques I could use and looking for different inspirations. ( I like big bums and I can not lie )

HEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEEHEHHEHEHEHEEHHEHEHEHEHEHEEH

yo yo yo yo yo yo what is up my home dawgs, well the next months will be VERY intresting :')
