Comic Storyboard Images 16/Jul/2010

Finally finished my storyboard images with these imagees i had spend alot of time and effort to get it to good standards as i had aimed for Merit but then thought i could do better so tried going for higher therfore i had re done me storyboard several times and finally finished with this as my final and complete storyboard.

Above are the pictures that I re-constructed using the original source. I used the over-lined sketches, but they had less detail. Therefore I decided to add extra details so the comic storyboard looks more professional. I did this by adding background and environment; I also used more realistic colours. Although this was time consuming it was worth a go, whilst I was doing this I was aiming for a Distinction which made me put more effort towards the unit so I completed my objectives to my best ability.

Inspiration 9/Jul/2010

My inspiration came from the cartoon series of ‘Dennis the Menace’ and I decided to create ‘Dennis’ thinking it would be easy. At first whilst I was creating sketches it was easy later on whilst going over the outlines it got a bit harder, but once I got used to it, it got a little easier.

Starting with drawing sketches on paper i had created my character image which i then scan onto my computer from were i had then edited using photoshop. When i uploaded it in Photoshop i was going to add colour and effect to it put dat was not possible at that time as it was not outlined, therfore coudn't add colors and i had to make a new layer in which i then drew over using the paint brush. Using similar colours i had then edited my character which was hard but finally completed it.

The picture on the left is the original and on the right is the one that I created. As you can see mine is unprofessional than the original as I haven’t added any shade to it, however I think I did well.

Unit 32 Stop Motion Evaluation 1/Jul/2010

For this project I had a group, which had four colleagues. We all were in a group to make a stop motion animation. We, as a group, determined to make a Claymation animation for our project.

I struggled quite a few times during this project, even though I had a good talented group that were there to help at all times. The modelling clay was not very good because it would become futile after some hours. This would be time wasting also it would be hard to copy the character like it was before. Therefore my group and I decided that we should keep the old character and let it stay the same, but this wouldn’t look much professionalised.

There was a major problem in our project that was time; this is because we all did ¼ each of the stop motion and whilst doing this we needed to know where the last team mate finished off. Therefore we all took it in turns, but if one individual took more time the next person would be struggling as he’d have less time. Fortunately we all did it in time and the stop motion was made on its deadline.

The plan above shows us who did what and how much time we spent on it. As we planned before the stop motion animation we were prepared therefore we succeeded, but we did not do it exact the same as we planned it. We split up in doing everything this helped because we all did everything equal amount.

I had also planned that I will be using these characters I have designed but I was not able to do so due to the problems I had with the clay I was unable to make it similar the drawing on my models are shown below

My inspiration of stop motion Claymation came from ‘Wallace and Gromit’, which is a classical stop motion Claymation animation. It was very popular because of its bright colours that were used, also cause of the shapes that the Claymation characters were in it looked fantastic. We took quite a few ideas from ‘Wallace and Gromit’ Claymation.
