Time Lapse Food Animation

Ideas & Concepts 

What were your ideas for the animation? How did you come up with this ideas?

When coming up with the ideas for the animation we created a mind map, thinking of things associated with the item we were given, describing the tem and even ideas of what the animation would be about.

Were your ideas effective for your food item? Did you concept work?

The ideas that we came up for the gingerbread men related well to the christmas cake decorations that were with the item. So from the decoration we decided to go with the christmas theme and the classic snowman story as the gingerbread men looked like snowmen.

How could you improve on your animation?

Improvements: Adding music in the background so that it isn't silent, maybe speeding up the decorating gingerbread animation as it's a bit slow and can get a bit boring cause its quite long.

Techniques, Materials & Equipment 

What techniques did you use? 

Using the app imotionHD on the ipads and the manual setting for the gingerbread animation, we captured the images one by one, moving the items each time. Then for the drawing animation using the time lapse setting which automatically took the images.

What materials and equipment did you use?

Materials & Equipment: Ipads, Gingerbread Men, Icing, Cake decoration, using the app imotionHD, Manual setting, Time Lapse setting

Did you enjoy using these techniques? 

Even though when using the manual setting we had to hold the ipads while capturing the images one by one which was a long technique, I preferred the time lapse techniques that automatically took the pictures as it was more quicker and easier to use.

Did you find them hard/difficult to work with?

The App was straight forward and easy to use.
