Animation 27th Sept

Today we are going to start are Animation section of the course, i've never been too keen on animation just becuase i find repeating my self very hard becuase my lines when i draw are very expressive so its hard to repeat this through 100+ images. 

In a stop start motive film they have 20 images a second so thats 1200 images if you have a 1miniute slot. so the old animated films had thousands of images. there are ways to get around this though.

• you can draw your image on a peice of asitate so then instead of drawing the image out a large amount of times you just move the asitate very very slightly when taknig the image of it. this might mean it does not look very real because your image is not facialy moving so the long method does end up looking better. but would also take you a few extra years! 
• you can do a double gap which would mean its a bit slower but means you only need to do half the amount so instead of clicking 4 times you could click 8 times meaning it would be slower.

The task we had to do was quite simple but when we have all finished it will come together really well i think, we start off with;

Self portrait, then tranform into, are object (cigerate packet) then transform into the next persons first image so its a flow film. 

The day was fun and something i thought i would really hate turned out quite intresting alot of tedious drawing but i still felt i had achived something.
