Final Post (Animation Assignment)

Animation Assignment

For my animation assignment I would like to do my animation using Lego. Animations that I like in Lego are shown bellow:



Doctor Who New Beginnings 1

NNN Chapter 1 New Beginnings

Minilife TV Episode 1 Dummy Demolition

Call Of Duty MW3 The Good The Bad and The Noob

Some scenes I would like to make in lego are:

The Mind Palace scene from Sherlock Season 2 Episode 2: The Hounds Of Baskerville 

Sherlock Season 1 Episode 3: The Great Game 

I would want to to the stand off at the end of the clip

I would like to do my own doctor who regeneration 

From my ideas I have decided to my own doctor who regeneration. I decided not to do the mind palace scene because I thought it would be to hard to accomplish. Here are some of the effects I want to use for the regeneration on my animation:

Proposal 

Ideas 

The animation will be my own regeneration from Doctor Who. I will use lego to create it. It is called model based animation.

Resources 

For resources I will need different male lego hair, heads, bodies e.g. suits and legs. I will also need a lightsaber handle and different coloured gems.  For backgrounds I will need:

For sounds  I want to use part of this track:

This is the audio from garageband. Some of the techniques I used was fade in's and out's on some of the music tracks. I used this on the slider. To edit the music I used the music levels and added points on the line and when I set the line to gradually decline the music would fade out.

Finished Movie 

Here is my finished movie 

Time Lapse Animation

Time-lapse Animation

Time lapse animation when you set a camera to go off once every 10 minutes when you have 500 frames that would take 5000 minutes to capture but because it takes 25 frames a second it would only be 20 seconds of animation. Even though it doesn't take long to set up a time lapse animation it would take a long time to make sure that the camera goes off at the exact same time and it takes longer to do a time lapse animation than any other animation. 

Red Bull Can Time lapse 

This is a time lapse of someone drawing a red bull can. The video is 3:45 or 225 seconds and the frame rate is 25 FPS then 225 x 25= 5625 frames to take for the video. If he took a picture every 10 seconds then 5625 x 10 = 56250 then divide 56250 by 60 seconds which equals 937 minuets.                                              

Doctor Who Time lapse Animation

Modern Animation

Modern Animation 

Modern times brought about the introduction of new ways to create animation. One of these techniques was cel based animation. Cell based animation is where a series of drawings is created each one being slightly different. They are then photographed and 25 different pictures are needed for 1 second of footage. This equals 8000 pictures for 30 seconds of material.

Family Guy is famous animation in modern times which uses cel based animation. This show is mainly    
aimed at viewers who are in their late teens and older. Family Guy was created by Seth McFarlane in 1999.  

Adventure Time

Adventure Time is a recent successful cartoon which uses cel based animation. The show is aimed teenagers but has hidden jokes that are appeal to an older audience. It was created in 2010 by Pendleton Ward.

Morph 

Morph is show that uses clay based animation which involves making clay models and photographing the characters one frame at a time. In the UK we use the standard 25 frames per second while the US go up to 30 frames per second. The Morph Files was produced by Aardman Animations.

Blues Clues

Blues Clues was a children's show that used cut out animation. It was created in 1996 for Nickelodeon television in America. Cut out animation is when characters are created on paper and then cut out. Cut out animation also uses the standard of 25 frames per second to photograph.
