overview

Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii :)

Today i filmed my whole cutout animation. i took a screenshot half way through to show you lovely people my effort, In the scene shown above the shark appears to be attacking the boat which i planned, i originally wanted to use 3 different shark pictures of them jumping out of the water, as i filmed this i thought it looked silly and kinda fake so i stuck to once shark image.. 

Because i finished i thought i'd add my unedited version on my blog to show you how it looks, I have yet to add music & sound effects to it then i'll re-upload it on here!!

god only knows research.

Shows the people who do the actual voice overs & the american voice over for the videos, it also displays the date when the movie came out, e.g - how long it is.

This is a book called 'Rough guide to anime' it contains similar text to 

End Of Lesson Post 2!

For my cutout animation i decided to remake a scene from the famous Jaws, i only decided to do a scene and not remake the whole movie because it would take too long. The scene I'm Remaking is the boat scene where the shark attacks the boat and makes the boat sink

Today I had printed all the backgrounds i needed to make my cutout animation video, I needed to make a storyboard explaining how i wanted my animation to turn out. I drew and explained what i wanted and what was happening in the scene. once i had finished the storyboard i went online to download the Jaws theme song & various sound effects i could use in my video to make it better. Once i had found the sound effects i wanted to use in my video i downloaded them then i was finished for today. next lesson i need to start making my animation video! :)

Research Idea's

Source

I wanted to do cut-out animation, to learn how to do cutout animation i watched a few video's on youtube. I watched a bunch of video's of people's work they've made and uploaded to youtube, i watch a bunch of tutorials of how people made there animation video. to get idea's for what i wanted to make for my project. 

These two video's are examples of what i want to do for my project. I want to make a cut out version of jaws. to achieve this I'm going to have cut out pictures of the ocean and shark and maybe some of my own images. I'm going to use iStop motion to make my animation possible. 

The clips above are from youtube, these types of animation are not the type i want to do i used these clips to show people a type of animation that i wanted to do, i want to recreate a scene from jaws 

At the end of my research i had a good idea of what i want to make for my little animation video.
