final formed

I did the video and the video was off the cutout guy forming up thats why i called it final form dragon ball z style but unfortunately when i exported the video there were technical problems so the video can not be seen because it did not export correctly i exported it using i stop motion 3 which is the program i use to create the cutout movie and i got placed with a group so all i did was move the cutout pieces

to capture it we use a hue camera and the software was i stop motion 3 very simple software to use very easy as well we set it to large widescreen - 12 frames per second and it was just about 5 seconds long

overall i did not enjoy doing the project i didn't want to it but it was for the rest of the class i wanted to get on with my actual work and not waste my time doing this to evaluate the project was done badly i rushed doing it i would not like to do it again because i think cutout animation is the worst type of animation there is so to end i didn't enjoy doing it the overall movie was bad and i would not like to do this again.

My own animation idea

 My idea is do recreate the dude wheres my car scene that was on my previous post but do it in clay so it's not my own idea I am going to try and recreate a full 20 seconds of the clip and end it in my own way so the ending is going to be a bit different to the original because the original clip is longer then 20 seconds.

dude wheres my car is a movie about the main character ashton Kutcher who well lost his car at the start and it just goes completely weird from there, the scene i am recreating is well called the and then scene because it's about them going to a drive threw place where they have the speaker phone thing and he tries to place an order but the person behind the microphone just keeps on saying and then so for the audio it will either be me doing a voice over or getting the audio out of the clip and syncing that up with my clip.

My main audience is young people the age rating about 16 to 21 years old because the clip I am aiming to produce will hopefully be funny so I want to aim it at a age group where they will laugh at it so that is why I am aiming it at young people to continue on it's because the overall movie and scene is based on that same age so it's pretty much the age rating that one the movie anyway.

Below is the actual scene I am aiming to recreate.

Animation Inspiration

I like morph because it's quite funny and it's done very good the whole clay thing they make it look so good but i know what must have went into it so it would be hard to replicate it but i like the overall style it is done in were it's nice and short no actual talking and they manege to make it sort of funny.


This one is robot chicken it's not done in clay but mainly done with action figures. they make it look so good and every robot chicken episode is always funny so i do like that and the way the do it with action figures it must be hard but they do it so well the people who create it. my favourite episode is the star wars ones there always brilliantly done and made and the best part is there about star wars.


This one is an obvious pick Wallace and grommet it was an obvious choice it's one of the most iconic claymation animations to get inspiration but the main thing i like is again the comedic side of it thats what I want to do a comedic animation nothing serious just funny that why i was looking at them three animations because they have all got a comedic side in them.


This clip is off the awesome movie dude wheres my car a great film and this clip is one of the most funny scenes in the film not that hard to set up and it would be great to try and do it in clay. I basically love the full movie and i love the clip in whole theres one certain part i like i just like the full clip.

The next clip needs a little bit of a warning because it does have some uncensored words in but again i am sticking with the comedic style of it. the main thing i like in this clip is the main Chorus in the "I'le do it like they do it on the discovery channel".

 This clip of a legendary comedian peter kay i love this clip because is one were he not that well know it was a gig in 1999 so he wasent that well known back then i think but i love the clip its so funny when he first started he didn't get censored a lot so he had a little more freedom to do what he wanted the overall inspiration i got from it isa the jokes in the clip.

Green


 The models were made using a specific type of clay can't remember what it was called but i made a small version of a unusual version of morph. what you do i get the right amounts of clay you want including different colours for this i picked green and pink and the you just make the size you want big, medium or small the just create. 









The animation was made using I stop motion which is a Mac application you can either access it threw the desktop sometimes or do it threw the computer and on I stop motion You set up a camera then get the framing you wish to shoot the animation in place the clay models you previously made where you wish for them to start take the first photo with the red button and then your of and to make them move you simply move the models a small amount and then you click the red button again and you repeat this over and over until you finished for this project the frame work was 12 frames per second what that means is you take 12 tiny movements and that make up a second.

Models

The first photo is a green version of morph Created by James Carling
I enjoyed making them because it took me back do my secondary school days i feel that it went well overall and i based the design on morph just turned him green and i am not that good at clay so I tried to do something very simple. to add ont it i feel that if i had more time next time we do this I could improve on my clay making skills.

The second one is of a green man created by Lewis Raywood.this is a clay model i made within 30 minutes it is for a animation I will be doing next week. its a guy who looks like he has spent too much time at the gym.

The third one Is a human  head created by David Hall. This is a human head I created out of clay, I think that the end product is not as good as what I can create but with my limited time to create this as to me being late this is the best I could do.
