Timelapse Animations

Timelapse Animations

Timelapse animation is a series of still images taken over a long period of time to trick people that it is moving image but in reality it is only a series of still images. Timelapses are usually taken showing the progression going from day to night and then back to day or it could be someone making something which would take hours to make and they set up the camera to take pictures every few seconds so by the end of the animation it will have taken thousands of pictures to build up a video clip of several thousands of pictures which would then either be left as individual pictures or you could convert them into a sequence which you could then also import into a editing program like Adobe After Effects as it reads sequence data so when you open the first one out of the group of pictures it opens up the rest of the pictures in a video form.

Cutout Animation 2

This is an example of what i will be using in my cutout animation and here are examples of the two models i will be using, i will be using a dj deck and i will be using johnny bravo to create a sort of scratching effect which vinyl dj's do when producing a set.

We have included in this animation, a background which is a simple cartoon room for where everything will be held which will include a dj deck, johnny bravo, jessica rabbit.

Cutout Animation

Cutout Animation

Cutout animation is a type of animation which animators use to animate flat objects with materials such as cardboard, paper and stiff fabric, which they create the actual characters with and also the backgrounds for the animation.

There are animations which are still used on TV to date and one of them i know of is called Charlie and Lola, as it is a children's TV show/animation based episodes. 

Here is an example of Charlie and Lola:

This is an example of what Charlie and Lola looks like, it was made in the year 2005 - 2008 as thats when it was commissioned to be made between, but even though it was made between them years it is still aired to date now. 

You set up cutout animation by firstly printing off what images you would like to use e.g. models, backgrounds and then once everything is printed off and ready to animate you then will cut the models at joints which you would want to move like hands, arms, waist, legs, feet and head depending on how complex or simple your animation will be will the decide how many joints you want to cut to animate as if its a complex animation then it will mean that your models will have a lot of joints able to move but if its a simple animation then you will only have 2-3 joints to move which will also depend on the style and way you're going to animate to match your planned out story.

Pixilation

During our lesson today we were given a task we created a stop motion animation and the idea was to create a short animation between 5 seconds and 10 seconds so we thought of an idea to make a student of our group to unzip his jacket but when we played the whole animation back it looked like his actual jacket unzipped itself to make the feel of the video creepy and feel like someone has unzipped his jacket but could not be seen in the video which added that weird paranormal feel to it, we involved a method of stop motion called pixilation which means a series of captured images taken for exactly 12 frames per second and we did this for 5 seconds so in total that was 60 frames for a short animation.

The way we exported the overall video was we exported all of the images into one video by exporting out of istopmotion by exporting the video out as a mp4 file format as we just wanted the actual animation exporting and not to change the overall file render format to for example HD 720p we just went with the set render settings to give us the video we wanted.

And then we got the embedded code from the actual youtube video and we pasted it into our blogs which gave us a video embedded in our post about pixilation,
