My Portrait and Lighting.

To do this portrait we used a 400D. One Studio light and a tripod.

I used Kieron as my model, we took 10 photos each to get the lighting right and the focus. 

Character Animation.

What is Character Animation?

Animation is the rapid display of a sequence of images of 2-D or 3-D artwork or model positions in order to create an illusion of movement.
For example a ball moving up and down would consist of 6 frames to make the ball move.
To create a moving animation you either draw something moving a cm at a time and take a picture of each difference or make flick book. Or you either have a model drawn out on computer or have a real life object moving it cm by cm and take a picture of the difference.

My Stop Fame Photography

On the 10th of November, Andy took us out on a task, to shoot stop fame photography. We went to the park with a Canon 400D and a tripod. We was paired in twos, i was with Josh.

Joshs first idea was too move my feet to look like they was dancing, he shot one shot of my feet and then moved them inch by inch to look like i was dancing.

My first idea was too shoot josh spinnning around on a roundabout, the first time i was shooting too fast, so i slowed the shooting down and the short video looked ok.

I then had a second go at shooting Josh moving from one spot to a different spot in the same frame. It didn't work out as good as I planned as it didn't have the effect of moving from one photo to the next.

This is the idea we come up with, making our feet dance shot by shot. There video is longer than ours as ours is only 20 pictures tops. If we did have longer, we could of made our video better by doing different dances and things with our feet. I think its the easiest thing to do with stop frame photography as it cant change in size or shape and nor can the frame as its on one spot; on our feet. It went well for our first idea, it could of gone better if we had seen this video before for inspiration, its had to think of an idea of the top of your head with a limit time.

Stop Frame Animation

What is Stop Frame Photography?

Stop motion (also known as stop action) is an animation technique to make a physically manipulated object appear to move on its own. The object is moved in small increments between individually photographed frames, creating the illusion of movement when the series of frames is played as a continuous sequence. Clay figures are often used in stop motion for their ease of repositioning. Motion animation using clay is called clay animation or clay-mation.

The most famous stop motion movies and programmes, are playdough ones such as wallace and gromit.

There most famous film Curse Of The Were-Rabbit took 5 years to film and edit.
