Tea Practice Animation

IDEAS & CONCEPTS

What were your ideas for the animation?

We were selected different foods to create an animation from. My food i was given was teabags were I then decided to create a box which then opens up with another box inside with two teabags insides.

 How did you come up with the ideas? 

I was inspired by the skittles commercial, how they make the skittles come out of the bag to form different words and shapes.

Were your ideas effective? How could you improve on your animation?

Yes i do think my animation was effective however it maybe improve my animation 

TECHNIQUES, MATERIALS & EQUIPMENT

What techniques did you use?

Using stopmotion i took the pictures one by one with my Ipod and then uploaded them onto the computer were i cropped them and imported into imovie.

What materials and equipment did you use?

- imovie

-Paper

-Pencils

-Teabags

-Scissors

Did you enjoy using these techniques?

Yes i enjoyed using this stop motion animation technique even though it is a longer technique to use for animation it still worked well and had the opportunity to add music in the background. I would definitely work with this animation technique again but this time making improvements and to do different things.

Stop-Motion Animation

Coffee Time from wan-tzu on Vimeo.

The creator for the coffee time animation is Wan-Tzu, using materials such as coloured paper and string to make the coffee machine and the cup of coffee. The techniques which was used to make this animation was stop-motion, where the object is moved in small movements and taken in individual photo frames. When he was creating the coffee box we realised that they must of created the box first and then dismantled the box and reversing the order of that to make

I like the artists work and the way he created the animation it looks like such a simple animation however a lot of work in creating the separate boxes and the pictures for the coffee machine also what i found with the other animation was that must of then consisted of music but with this one it was more of the sound effects of paper tearing etc.
