In order to add small sounds into my film, such as when the characters are talking, when my character screams, and small sound affects like a 'plop' when his ice cream falls, I created a few soundtracks in GarageBand, one for each scene that required sound affects. These sounds were all recorded of my voice, except for the screaming,...
In order to create the dark and gloomy atmosphere and convey that by falling into his ice cream my character has landed an alternate world, I had to photoshop every single frame in the second half of the film, which was quite a time consuming and difficult process. Fortunately, Mr Andrews helped me to solve the problem that I had previously...
I found this film clip on youtube and its a really great animation, but most importantly provides some great examples of pre-apocalypse newspapers, which is quite similar (although more complicated) to what I would like to do in my second last sce...
For scene 9 I need to photoshop in the glowing orb which attracts his attention to the body on the sidewalk, as this is quite an essential part of the story. I managed to find a really good image of the sort of orb that I am picturing in my head, and have used it to help me create an orb in photoshop. I would post it here, but much to my...
I don't really like the start of this scene, because I attempted to make my character appear as if he was panting from the exertion of running away from the hooded figure, however this doesn't really convey on the screen, he just looks really weird. I do however like the part where he spots the glowing orb (which I have yet to...
I would have to say that this is one of my favourite scenes, because although it is still jerky because of the camera, I am really pleased with the way the camera appears to follow the boy's eyesight, revealing the hooded man, whose hood then slips off, because it looks really cool. I also really like they way I made my character bring his...
I had the same problems with this scene, where the camera zoomed in and out and the lighting changed randomly, so this scene also looks jerky and flashes, which is really frustrating because I spent a lot of time and effort trying to make it look good. I really like the start though, because i managed to make him blink and appear...
This lesson I did actually start filming scene 6, however I am not really happy with it because the camera was stuffing up the whole lesson and zooming in and out slightly and lightening and darkening the image. The first camera I got would not stop wobbling however, and the second camera was the same so I had to stick with it....
When filming this scene, I had some issues with the camera, as last time I filmed a close up scene it ended up being quite bad quality, so Mr Andrews suggested that I use a camera from the art department. Unfortunately, the first camera I collected didn't work and we realised was not compatible with the software, and so I had to...
I finished altering the backdrop to make my second scene, and I am really pleased with the end result, as it looks almost exactly as I depicted it in my planning and, most importantly, looks creepy and scary. I managed to do this by drawing over the windows and the steps to make them looked cracked, 'graffitiing' the ice cream shop sign,...
This scene took me a really long time to film, particularly in the start as I made him appear as if he was falling by moving each individual ice cream scoop each frame on the black cardboard, as well as moving my character. About halfway, Dannielle made the ingenious suggestion that I simply move the camera and I realised that...
I decided that I would film the final scene of the boy waking up back in the real world and walking off with his mum now, because I need to change the set o make it look dark and scary so I will not be able to film this later. I really like this scene because it is funny how the mother just walks off and the boy chases after her,...
I am unsure about this scene, where my character falls into his ice cream, because although the camera movement at the beginning is really smooth, the actual section of him falling is really quick and because of his wire frame I couldn't make him sink down as I had initially planned. Another issue is that I didn't film this scene...
Respond to each of the following points (using complete sentences or paragraphs). You should include as much detail as possible in your responses.Describe any problems or difficulties you encountered during the planning; I did encounter a few problems during planning, as I was initially stuck for an idea, and although I love the...
I found that scene 3 was quite fun to film, particularly because of the massive ice cream, my only issue with the scene is that when I held the ic cream scoops by a piece of fishing wire in order to make them fall, my hand created a shadow on the bottom left corner of the scene which i did not realise at the time. Making the ice...
For my second scene, where the boy buys an ice cream from the ice cream stand, I found a pretty awesome way to make my characters talk - by making a whole in their faces with a pointy object (generally a pencil) and changing the shape each scene. This week I unfortunately forgot my USB one lesson, and so I saved my work to the...
I finished my first scene, where the camera zooms in on the box and the little boy walks to the ice cream stand, a feat which I am very proud of because it is quite smooth, although slightly jerky at times. It took a bit longer than I had planned, so I am a bit worried about my time-management, particularly sine it took me a while...
This week I started filming my animation, which was very slow at first, but then as I got the hang of it I worked more effectively. I decided that I would change the beginning of my film to a section of the camera zooming into the box, because when I first started filming the issue arose that the edges of the box were visible....
This lesson, Mr Andrews helped to show me a few different ways to create my set in photoshop, from rendering buildings and and windows as well as textures and such. I also looked on google for some tutorials in creating a street scene, however unfortunately didn't really find any that suited my purposes. After a lesson of experimenting I...
For creating my characters, I had initially planned on creating them fully out of clay, however, after finishing my first character and attempting to make him walk, I found that he would simply squish and after a few frames end up completely retarded-looking. Mr Andrews suggested to build my characters around a wire frame so that...
I HAVE FINALLY FINISHED MY STORY BOARDS! YAY!And I was right, drawing them was quite time-consuming, however that was most likely because my storyboards are very detailed in order for me to gain maximum benefits from them when filming. Because I did include quite a lot of detail I will hopefully be able to get right into filming when i do...
I decided that before I began drawing out my storyboards as this will not only assist me in making my sets but also in fact my storyboards as I will now not have to draw out a complete set for each picture. In addition to this, the short description that i have included will help me to formulate finer details in my planning.I am not quite...
Bruce Bickford is man who was born in Seattle in 1947 and who started animating at the age of 17. Now 64, his 2D line animation is described as remarkable and his works in claymation have made him legendary. However, this legendary status did not come into existence until 1973, when a friend introduced Bickford to rock musician Frank Zappa....
