2nd animation

E4 music Sting


As you can see it has been made using the same stop motion technique [see appendix], as for first animation, by thinking it will gane me more expierence and better understanding. This time it went much smoother and quicker, as I avoid the same mistakes and descover some more useful tools. e.g. for cutting bit of the picture it's much faster and simpler with magnetic lasso tool instead of magic wind (that i used for first animation).

It was quite useful,constantly check how the animation visually looks on image ready and if it needs any changing before getting to far,while making a background in Photoshop,

Stop motion (pop. frame-by-frame) is a generic general term for an animation technique which makes static objects appear to move. The object is moved by very small amounts between individual frames, producing the effect of motion when the film is played back, as in conventional drawn and painted animation.

FeedBack.

Some of the people mentioned that artistic style of my animations looks simillar to late ones MTV stings. I have tried to look for some example, but wasn't succssesful.It would be quite interesting to find it and to compare it.

Simon mentioned that i should try to work with the music and try to expand E4 music logo at the end of animation, to add stronger accent for it an the music. ( it means more work for me)
