Final Evaluation

OVERVIEW
My Final outcome was technology animation about how these blackberries from a bush travel all the way to the blackberry world factory where they then become into the blackberry phones. Through the development of the animation i made some changes such as how i wanted the blackberry world box to be on the inside, how many plasticine blackberries i wanted to be on the bush and having the little blackberries on the moving conveyor belt then sliding down the pipes. The aspects of my outcome which were successful i think was the overall animation however much could be improved making the animation more professional, not having other objects within the background just having the set in sight also the second to last picture of the final blackberry phone i had to use the paint brush to hide the purple plasticine. The purpose of this outcome was to make an animation advertising campaign for a product of your choice either under these categories Food, Fashion, Music or Technology. My outcome did fulfil the purpose of the brief as i did make an animation which advertised technology and a bit of food. Using the stop motion technique and taking individual pictures one by one with my phone and then uploaded them onto the computer were I cropped,changed/removed some pictures and imported them into imovie.

During the development of this project I used a variety of materials such as:

- imovie

-Paper

-Paint

-Cardboard Boxes

-Pens & Pencils

-Plasticine

Through the development of this animation i've learnt more to do with the stop motion technique that it isn't one of the easiest types of animation to work with and how long the whole making of your animation set and shooting it can take. I experienced a few problems when working with these materials such as with the cardboard when cutting it it could look quite rough around the edges meaning having to sandpapering the rough edges and when building up the plasticine blackberries it was tricky to get them to look like blackberries instead of grapes. In relation to the Aardman Animation, the creators of Wallace and Gromit, who inspired me to make an animation for plasticine which they use to make Wallace and Gromit, Chicken Run the movie and Flushed Away. 

Final Animation

IDEAS & CONCEPTS

What were your ideas for the animation?

Either picking technology, fashion, food and music themes we had to create an little animation, I decided to pick technology as i thought that i could make an animation of about a Blackberry Phone but using the blackberry fruit that then becomes into the blackberry phone.

 How did you come up with the ideas? 

By doing and experimenting with little drawing doodles of different ideas i then realised that i could relate the blackberry phone to the fruit making the fruit come from a bush, to then walk to the blackberry world factory resulting in the end result of a blackberry phone.

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

Yes i do think my animation was effective however i could definitely make some improvements such as maybe reshooting the whole animation as i did make a few changes that are noticeable and i would also change the cardboard material as it looks a bit tacky.

TECHNIQUES, MATERIALS & EQUIPMENT

What techniques did you use?

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

What materials and equipment did you use?

- imovie

-Paper

-Paint

-Cardboard Boxes

-Pens & Pencils

-Plasticine

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.
