Crabs out walking

Unfortunately Jamie wasn't in today's final filming session so I decided to add some sound onto his animation to make it look more complete.
Jamie if you see this I hope you don't mind the sound and titles I added to it. You should be really proud of this as it looks great.

Kirsty and Becky speak...

Two A2 media studies students came into the Animation session today to share their experiences of animation. Kirsty and Becky are part of a group of three students that decided to do a fully animated piece as part of their A2 coursework project, to make a music video.



As you can see the final result is a beautifully craft, very intricate and successful video. Kirsty and Becky talked to the animation group about their planning, the hours it took to create all of their props, and the challenges they faced with their video.






Kirsty and Becky also spent some time talking to the animation students, looking at their projects, offering advice and helping out.





This is an example of Kirsty and Becky's early animation work. It demonstrates early examples of their individual style. It also demonstrates how their filming techniques has developed from this early example to their coursework project.

William's Animation



William joined the grouup today and this is his first attempt at animation.

Latest footage of crabs walking


A few computing issues mean that I lost the last 15 seconds of this version (thats 150 frames), so il have to do it ALL OVER AGAIN
