Drawn Animation

This is my drawn animation video, i personally enjoyed making this as i learnt a lot whilst the drawing making and editing, i wanted to start out with something basic but look forward to making something in the future.

Drawn animation is very similar to cut out animation in the way as you can make anything happen of your own accord. Its very easy to correct a mistake if you go wrong as you can place your drawing in the place it was in the last shot. For this video i used istop motion.

Overall i really enjoyed this project and think its one of the easiest.

Here is three examples of drawn animation;

Koyaanisqatsi

This is my pixilation animation video, i helped make this with my class, we worked in separated groups and filmed individually but then all came together in the end.  

This video was inspired by Koyaanisqatsi project that involved similar techniques. This is the original Koyaanisqatsi pixilation project video;

I personally enjoyed making this project as we was all working together and making joint decisions, this reflected on the video I thought. I didn’t enjoy the fact it was a little bit rushed, and didn’t have much time for pre production. 

Pixelation Animation

This is my pixelation animation video, i personally enjoyed making this as i filmed it. I think it could have gone a lot better if more time had been spend filming, overall this is one of my favourite ways to animate.

Pixilation animation is a form of stop motion animation, which consists of animation live actors which is sometimes tricky, because actors are humans and can move on there own accord where as objects you have full control.

Pixilated animation is very similar t object animation except its much more noticeable if the movement is to big or a little bit out. The whole process between pixilation and object animation is very similar but mistakes are more likely to show on the pixilation video.

Overall I enjoyed this animation process I think if we had a better story and better-set things have gone a lot better. This way of animation is very time consuming but satisfying at the end.

Here are three examples of pixilated animation;

Cut Out Animation

Here is my Cut out animation video i made with Viviana, i think it went really well for a first time piece, i really enjoyed working on it.

Cut out animation is one of the oldest forms of animation, but yet is still going today, as its very easy to make. Cut out animation is made from flat characters or shapes including paper, fabric photos and so on.

Cut out animation isn’t very popular in this day and age as animation is done through computers and editing software. I personally think that cut out animation is highly creative and satisfying because you get to make anything you want to happen.

Here are three examples of cut out animation;

Object Animation

This is my object animation video i made with Viviana overall i think i could have improved but for a first attempt Im pleased, at the video has a little story to it.

Object animation uses 3d objects and materials to go through the process of animating where as with cut out and drawn animation the things you animate are flat and more accessible to move. Object animation is most like film making as it involves many aspects of producing a film for example the camera movement, lighting and so on.

I personally found object animation very tricky as it takes a long time as the movement has to be slow but steady. It was also hard to figure out something to animate, as you are limited down to objects where as drawn animation your possibilities are endless.
