Factory

FACTORY:

How did the film make you feel? (excited, intrigued, happy etc)  
this animation 'Factory' makes me feel confused as i didn't really understand the meanings of the animation and it wasen't very clear what the author was trying to show the audience. 

In your opinion, what was the most striking element of the film?
The most sticking part of the film was when they had the hand as the claw working in the factory I don't know why but that just really stood out in the film.

List three other things that you found interesting?
1. I like the colours they used how the film is in black and white it just has so much more meaning that way
2. I also like when the man is using the wrench 
3. And I like atbthenstart when there all walking into the factory 

What meaning did you think the artist was trying to convey?
I am not definite that this is it but some of my ideas would be that the author is trying to show us that...

What is your overall impression of the film’s mood?
The films mood is all dark and gloomy so it either looks like there being pushed to hard or they really don't like there job.

Did sound play an important part in your response to the film?
I wasn't really listening to the sound as I was to concentrated on the film butmifni really listen to it it just sounds like a factory

What comments can you make about the animators technique? (i.e. was it simple, complicated, smooth, jerky etc)
The animation was really simple but that's what's made it so good it just was like that saying 'less is more' and it was not super smooth but not horribly not smooth so it was a mix in the middle

Do you think that this animation would have been well planned?
I think it would have to be well planned as with all the different layers going on in the film it would have to and it turned out really well so I think it was really well planned 

SCENE 5

when we filmed this chistie and i didn't really like how this came out in the end but we had to keep it because we where scared we wouldnt have time to finish so if we need to we will come back to this

SCENE 4

YAY MY FAVORITE SCENE i don't know why i love this so much but when i finished filing this and looking at it, it was decently my favourite. while listening the the lyrics "she gave you things i couldn't give to youuuu" this means that lila could have kids but sky didn't, we thought how where we going to express how she could give him things but she couldnt but then christie and i thought of a KID witch worked really well with the lyrics. this scene may not be the best to others but it is to me i worked so hard on this one it may not be perfect but i love it

SCENE 3 (3)

THE KISSING SCENE WHOOOO now this is when josh and lila kiss at the end of the alter this must have to be one of my favourite scenes as you can just feeling the love when looking at this. christie and i tried so hard to get this scene perfect, and in the and it pulled off it took us 2 lessons on this and i really feel like you can you see what their feeling sand the body language just really makes the ending to scene 3 fantastic.

SCENE 3 (2)

this was the next part of the wedding this is when lila is waling down the aisle :) because we didn't have enough time for her to walk slowly down the aisle we had to make her waddle i don't think it looking that bad it really is a comedy in tis scene just looking at the way she walks ahahha. but in the end i think christie and i got her down the aisle in one piece and i am really happy with this part of scene 3

SCENE 3 (1)

YAY i was so excited to film this THE WEDDING SCENE WHOOO i moved filming this scene. at the start when we did our fist it was horrible like he was just standing their like a statue for about 5 seconds we showed mr andrews and he wasn't impressed he said we need to feel what our character is feeling. thats we when started moving our character to show the he was nervous and scared i think it turned out really good i just hope other people like it just as much as we do.

scene 2

scene 2

SCENE 2 (1)

Why Now

incase your wondering why i am uploading now it is because i have had all of these written but we had not exported all our videos and my videos weren't uploading so i had to go see mr Andrews about that thank-you :)

SCENE 1 (2)

this is our final scene in scene 1 looking at how the rest of the class is doing i think we are catching up but i am just hoping we will be able to get finished in time. this scene is our part after the title of sky playing the piano, we tried and tried to get this scene right but when we kept doing in either the lighting wasn't right or the camera angles so it was so hard to get this scene finished when it just wasn't corroborating with us, but in the end we figured it out and it turned out we have a pretty good closing scene for scene 1.

SCENE 1 TITLE

christie did most of this one as she is better on animashinesh (don't know how to spell) then i am so this was a bonus so while christie was doing that i got to get stuck on filming the scene 1 part 3 (next post) but i think the title turned out quite good but if we do need to fix it at the end we will see if we have enough time but i think its really good as we really are not that good on the program :)

SCENE 1 (1)

christie and i are quite scared everyone has started filming there movies and we haven't started so today we came in and we where going to get started this was our first scene that we did the introduction of sky playing the piano you can see while looking at our practises we have improved a lot.  mr andrwes helped us along the way as we where moving our characters wrong now he taught us how to move the camera without having to move the girl this helped so much as now our animation is smooth. i think christie and i work really good together and we found this out in this scene we really helped each other with our problems when filming and moving our girl (sky)
we stared but it just was so difficult to get the camera the angle we wanted it, it took us so long but in the end christie and i got there and i think this scene is a really great start to our film

PRACTISE

this is one of our other practises as you can see that that it is getting a little bit better but we still don't have it the way we want it what we could improve on is just learning and practising to get the filming and smoothness better so our film will look how we wanted it, this is just a little bit of the the film showing her hands playing on the piano

PRACTISE

this is another one of our practises when we were trying to zoom in on her face, as you can see it is not smooth and the camera is going side to side when we want it to go straight to her face. next time we will have to make sure the camera goes face and we need to remember to put the camera into focus

PRACTISE

this is our first practise we have done in creatvive, christie and i really didnt know how to work out how to use i stop motion but when we called mr andrews over he really helped us work out how to move our camara and our props and characters :) now that we have done that we are hoping our film will come out more smooth and better then we hoped :)xx it also wasn't our bet because as you can see she doesn't move her hands but mr andrews taught us how to make it look like she's playing the paino

Planning

On the 23/7/12 Christie was away so instead of starting our first scene without out her I decided i would try get half of my story boards done I finished my first section so then I updated my blog

Stressing

today we finished modelling our characters i think they turned out really good and cool and i just hope they stand up right when we are filming and hope they don't fall over. i am hoping we start filming because people have nearly finished there first scene and we advent just nearly finished our pre work and not even started practising i just don't know if we are going to be able to finish by the time it is due :(

Defenititions

Definition: "Tween" is actually short for "in-between", and refers to the creation of successive frames of animation between key frames. In computer animation, the term is most commonly used for Flash's "shape tweening" and "motion tweening" processes, where the user can define two key frames and Flash will automatically create the in-between frames, either morphing one shape into another over a set period of time or else moving a shape or shapes from point A to point B over a set period of time. 3D animation programs also have their own method of "tweening". Also Known As: in-between

Definition: A Motion Tweens is form of animation that enables you move an object around and change it's properties.

Definition: An animation key frame is a single still image in an animated sequence that occurs at an important point in that sequence; key frames are defined throughout an animated sequence, in order to define pivotal points of motion before the frames in between are drawn or otherwise created to "tween" the motion between the two key frames. One example of key frames could be an animation of a swinging baseball bat; the bat at rest would be one key frame, and the bat at the end of of its swing would be another. All other frames would be "tweened" frames.

Definition: I could not find the definition for animation cycle

FINAL AVATAR 2

this is my final avatar 2. i really enjoyed making this avatar because i really believe it matches to the emotion (serious). I HOPE YOU LIKE IT :):):)

Layers 2

these are my layers for my second avatar

step 11 (avatar 2)

in these images i put the top skin on the black top so it had more of bright side. i think this is a really good idea to end up my avatar 2.

step 10 (avatar 2)

in this image i had to do what i did to my first avatar and colour my school uniform black before i put on my skin over the top.

step 9 (avatar 2)

in this photo i just added the crown from my first avatar. i know it doesn't really match the theme but every princess has a crown.

step 8 (avatar 2)

in this photo i changed my avatars eye colour i stared with a red but then changed to a blue colour because i didn't want the eyes to be the same colour of the lips.

step 7 (avatar 2)

in this image i added a black and white flower skin to my face. i got this image from flickr and i think it really helps the face have more meaning and it gives more emotion.
