CUT OUT ANIMATION

We had a final Idea for cut out which was karl the teletubbie it involved us taking a picture off the internet of Karl's head and putting it on a Teletubbie then we had to print it off, and cut off all his arms and legs so that we could animate him into a cut out animation. After Cutting karl and cutting his arms off we then put a background behind in apologetic london and then we animated him moving everywhere.
Below is the final Video For Karl the Teletubbie

Time Lapse

Time Lapse is a processes that would normally appear subtle to the human eye, e.g. the motion of the sun and stars in the sky, become very pronounced. Time-lapse is the extreme version of the cinematography technique of under-cranking, and can be confused with stop motion animation.



here are some videos of different time lapses that i like one is already above :)

Cut out

Cut out Animation 

so far we have chosen to do a mini project of cut out animation and we have chosen to use a member of our group called karl hill and we are using his face on a Teletubbie. we also are using a background that he looks a destroyed city.

Final Cut out Idea for Cut out animation we have finally decided to a teletubbie idea on where karl the teletubbie will dance and then after dancing for a bit he then fall apart in london and then disappear into thin air.  I think this will work well cause we have everything we need to do the cut out animation we just need to record it next lesson.

Cut out Animation

Cut out Animation

Cutout animation is a technique for producing animations using flat characters, props and backgrounds cut from materials such as paper, card, stiff fabric or even photographs. The world's earliest known animated feature films were cutout animations (made in Argentina by Quirino Cristiani); as is the world's earliest surviving animated feature. The modern Day Animation is a cutout Style Animation which in now used by computers, they used scanned images or vector Graphics this takes the place of physically cut materials.








The notable Examples of Cut out Animation are Angela Anaconda and the most Recent Ones are Charlie and Lola, which is one the most famous animation that is still used today.

Ideas for Cutout animation

In Groups we had to come up with an idea for cut out animation and my group came up with the idea of the teletubbies that are like dancing around the screen all we have to do for the cutout animation is print off separate arms and legs and a body and the head so that they can move around all on there own.

when recording the animation

Model Based Animation

Our Class exercise was that we had to create our very own Model Based Animation At first i had a good idea which was a recreation of the character of Gumpy But i didn't actually have any video ideas,So I Decided that i Create another Model Based Animation which was a cat dying which was very bad but the video quality Was Quite Good :D

So created a new video for animation below

Model Based animation is another form of animation which is designed to merge with live action and create an illusion of a real world Fantasy, Some Pioneers were Willis O'Brien who created animation like 

King kong (1933)

The Son of Kong (1933)

And The Giant Behemoth (1958)

Here are Some Animation Below:

cel based animation

Cel based Animation

Cel based animation is traditional animation that is produced by hand which turns into cartoons or animated where frame is moved one by one.  Ful Length cartoons and films are produced from these hand drawn cel based animation which requires a million or more drawings than there actually is.

Below is a cel based animation by Shelbie wise




I found a Video showing how walt disney made there characters in the 1938

Modern Day Animation

Matt Groening created the simpsons and futurama, it is animated which consisted of short animated clips in the 1990s that Matt Groening then he was approached by people do the series for fox and now to these days he does stuff like futurama, but how he created is he used drawings and then he used all of the drawing in a series to create them.












Maxwell atoms created the grim adventures of billy and mandy but is often referred as billy and mandy which then appeared on cartoon network it was originally aimed at older kids but then aimed at younger kids cause it too childish for older people.  Billy And Mandy was created using computer drawing and is still running on the TV and is aimed at young kids.

Beavis and Butt-head is another tv series but this time it was originally aimed at young kids but like matt groening he was approached by some people and then instead of using it for young kids and then went to for older kids,  the person who created beavis & butt-head mike judge, the series originally from frog baseball and this kind of program is drawings and ran into the computer.

Seth macfarlane is well know for creating family guy, south park and American dad this program consisted of a family being very dysfunctional and then it really became a hugh with older kids the style of animation is really cell based

Pixilation

During the lesson we had to create a short animation so we did, we worked in groups to create a small animation. we used the programme "I Stop Animation".  we had to export it into a movie so that we could we could see it.  The Animation we used was Pixilation, Pixilation is were you use a series of small still images to make a small animation but your brain tricks you into think its moving. I did enjoy it but if i was the one in front of the camera i would seriously scared. The frame rate we did was series of 12 images per seconds, then we exported it to upload it to youtube. Then we had to embed it on to my blog


Pixilation
Pixilation is a Stop motion which involves the Techniques where live actors actually are taken frame by frame which is the subject to animated Film, these techniques are repeatedly created by more than one type of frame and they would keep changing pose in every next frame so that it would create a short film, the actors in these frames become like a puppet controlled by frames.

Here are some examples below of Pixilation :D 

Animation 1950s-1970s

Animation 1950s-1970s

Hanna Barbera made Scooby Doo in 1969  it appeared in 2 seasons originally by hanna barbera and ran from 1969 too 1970 which was only a year and they managed to do around 310 animated episodes they still do scooby doo but its not the same as hanna barbera does it.

Warner Bros. created Looney Tunes around. it preceded Merrie Melodies series and was Warner Bros.' first animated theatrical series it was originally created in the 1930s but became worldwide in the 1950s and became sensational and it made around 1000 episodes.


Woody Woodpecker made by Walt Lantz and was the first animated series he did though not the first of the screwball characters that became popular in the 1940s, Woody is perhaps the most indicative of the type. He didn't do that many of the Episodes of woody woodpecker and it was disturbed by Universal Studies




Oliver Postgate created Bagpuss and he did the clanger's too. Bagpuss was created in 1970's Although only 13 episodes of the show were made, it remains fondly remembered, and was regularly repeated in the UK for thirteen years. In 1999 Bagpuss topped a BBC poll for the UK's favourite children's TV programme.
 

Animation from 1930s to 1950s

WALT DISNEY

Steamboat willie was made by walt disney comic and was made in 1928 it was made in black and white and was the first to be disturbed by disney it was also one of the first cartoon with synchronized sound. They made the animation by using cell based animation.

MAX FLEISCHER

Max Fleischer made Betty boop as an animated cartoon based character, betty boop was also based in comic strips she was made in 1930 by cell based animation just like steamboat willie but later on as bettu boop was developed she was also made with sound and then later on talked. But later on Max Fleischer went bankrupt so they had to sell betty boop.

Norman Mclaren created still animation with ordinary people and make sure that nothing else was used just these people and he created this in 1930's.

What is persistence of vision ?

An example of Persistence of Vision is a Zoescope. A Zoescope is a Series of Still images on a piece of a paper which you attach to a wooden object and you slide it in to the wooden object and you twirl it around, your brain focus on the image and tricks you into thinking the series of images are moving.
