thing i did for my group animation

this part of my blog is about the things i designed and created for my animation.

flower head mascot runner- i made the flower head mascot using a wire frame and plasticine to for the shape i also used plasticine to add facial features and a red flower shaped mane.

the stadium- the stadium was made using foam board. after equally measuring the dimensions of the board and designing a stage shape i marked my points and folded the foam board into the desired shape.

mini microphones- the microphones are made using black straws and tin foil raped round the top. i also used plasticine to create small wires coming out of the microphones.

crowd- the crowed was made by everyone in the group it is simply A2 white paper and allot i mean ALLOT of painted dots with random penned in shoulders.

my report

we all take animation as just another part of life something normal and something we have all grown up with but what is the history behind the computers and the animation.

one of the first ever produced pieces of animation would have been the magic lantern.

this simple lantern would project an image on to a wall using a candle and a simple picture.

the zoetrope was first designed by a chinese man called Ting Haun. the idea of this design was to spin a cylinder with slits in it and an image printed on the inside. due to the image spinning it looks as though the image is moving.

the flip book is a simple idea using images put on top of another then played in a organized sequence to create the illusion that the images are moving.

stop motion is a commonly used form of animation. this form uses pictures placed one on top of the other then played in a simple sequence.

CGI is basically the most known and most up to date form of animation . it is images placed onto a a green background using computers also creating the 3D effect. this is done by rendering the computerized models with shade and color to make the images look as realistic as possible.
