  : Stop MotionAnimation Assignment Title My first 15 minute stop motion animation has a basic storyline about an infant girl who plays her toys in a park. In order for my animation to bring a more interesting feel to it, I decided to go beyond the norm of a simple “day in the park” for example, I thought the only way I was going to achieve an exciting storyline was if I came up with a setting which could be filled-up with a heap of spontaneous events on a pre-dominant background. Materials used  Cotton shaped as a ball which had been coloured  A String of fabric cotton  Green fabric- used for leafs on the tree  Coloured cardboard- for the background  Barbie doll Characters  The mini Barbie Doll I had brought in had been the centre attraction which brought the stop motion to live because it simply was able to rotate effectively once adjusting it to display a specific action, causing every single capture take on the (I CAN ANIMATE) programme to detail ably show each frame; thereby giving the quality of movement a remarkable effect. Through the inspiration of particular animation work such as Walt Disney pictures, and cartoon programmes shown on kids channels, I was mainly influenced by their attention to detail whether it was in 2D or 3D- I had always took clear to things like for example, the way animators bring elements to life (water, wind, fire, earth) watching video on YouTube, DVD’s or Blu-ray challenged me to understand the various styles of stop motion animation.I order for my 15 minute to be off good standard, I decided to use a traditional frame by frame method to animate my production, having used a 3D model

  : Stop MotionAnimation prevented me from encountering various inevitable restriction for example, if I decided make a 2D object that would need to move, I would need to take into consideration- how they object I going to move from one frame to the next,  The strengths to using a 3D model were that I, in detail, illustrated my storyline easily to viewers.  Stop motioning with HDV camcorder- adjusting the camera so as to create quality scenery and narrative. Storyboard The initial idea that I came up with towards my first idea was aabout Techniques With animation, the concept of this artwork is to display sequences of images (2D or 3D), either in forms of objects, models clay or puppetry. The quality of work depends on the on the attention to detail added to the sequences of images for example, If I were to create a scenery whereby I want to show a ball bouncing, I would create the object (out of card) place it under the HDV camcorder then, open up the programme “I CAN ANIMATE” and start capturing detailed frame shots to the ball’s gradual progression (rapid or slow) depending on the creativity of the animator. This effect is called an “optical illusion of motion because it deals with the persistence of vision, using this video program will allow the animation to become whatever your imagination explores. Development: pioneers Joseph Plateau- 1832 The “phenakistoscope” uses the persistence of motion principle to create an illusion of motion. Although this this establishment was recognised by the Greek mathematician Euclid and later in experiments by Newton, it was firmly recognised in 1829 by “Joseph Plateau” How it works

  : Stop MotionAnimation The phenakistoscope consists of two discs mounted in the same axis. Disc one had slots around the edge, while disc two contained drawings of successive action, drawn around the disc in concentric circles. Thomas Edison Kinescope invented by Thomas Edison- projected a 50ft length of film in approximately 13 seconds. 1928-STEAMBOAT WILLIE was the first successful sound animated film; it made Mickey an international star, and launched the Disney studio of today. Born: 1786 in Bristol, England Died: 22 Sept 1837 in Bath, England The zoetrope was invented in 1834 by William Horner, who originally called it a Daedalus ("wheel of the Devil"). It was based on Plateau's phenakistoscope, but was more convenient since it did not require a viewing mirror and allowed more than one person to use it at the same time. http://courses.ncssm.edu/gallery/collections/toys/html/exhibit10.htm

It is also worth noting that he gave a solution to what has come to be known as the "butterfly problem" which appeared in The Gentleman's Diary for 1815 [4]. The problem is the following:-

To create the illusion of movement, each drawing differs slightly from the one before it. The animators' drawings are traced or photocopied onto transparent acetate sheets called cells, which are filled in with paints in assigned colors or tones on the side opposite the line drawings. The completed character cells are photographed one-by-one onto motion picture film against a painted background by a rostrum camera.
