HOW I PREPARED MY ANIMATION (CLAYMATION)

For my animation i first started to plan out what kind of animation i was going to do whether it would be going from cutout animation to even timelapse animation or even cel based as i first planned out to do my animation as a 3d model based animation but make it look like a stopmotion kind of look to it which is what i would of liked to match with the subject we were doing which was stopmotion. I then found out after planning it that i could not be able to do that but the way i could of done it would've been complicated so i thought of something else, a different style of what i could do it in and i then chosen claymation as it was the easiest i could do and the more fun way of doing stopmotion as you then get to make your models yourself with all the colours and etc. This then made me change the whole story/animation i was going to do as i was going to do a minecraft animation in the 3D program i work in which is called Cinema 4D but make it look like stopmotion but i then changed it to Space Invaders as thats what i thought would've made a better animation.

I prepared my work by looking at a series of videos on youtube of how Space Invaders looked and this is the type of research i came up with:

This is the kind of animation i looked at and used two features from this video which was the green shooter killing the white enemies and then i picked one of the white enemies which looked like this:

I then begin to plan out how i wanted the story to be as i first made the green shooter which would kill the white enemy but in my story i made the enemy above blue as i wanted it to look like a boss enemy so that then the green shooter have to use a missile to kill the boss fight he was up against.
