My Stop motion animation

Making of my animation

The way I made my animation I download an app called stop motion studio. From this app I was able to record and make my animation with my phone. I took pictures frame by frame and put them in the sequence I wanted. I also added music and sound effects to give the animation more life and to make it more fun. I could not find all the desired sound effects I wanted so I couldn't do some of the things I had planned. Furthermore I didn't have a professional camera or setup so it was quite hard to keep my phone balanced and have consistent lighting. 

Character poses

I have begun making my characters with the different poses and expressions I will be needing for my animation. Here are some I did of my character called Lily

Final props and background designs

 After drawing out my characters I cut them out and stuck a piece of foam board behind them to help them stand out. I used craft foam to create a table and the monitors and keyboard for one of my scenes. I printed out the monitors screens and keyboard and stuck it on the craft foam to make them more realistic. For my second background I used foam boards again and stuck them together. I printed out my desired background and stuck them on the foam boards.

First background set finished

I stuck the printed wall design onto the foam boards. I also stuck each felt square down onto the grid pattern I made on the foam boards. After this I stuck the foam boards together to create the background set. All I will need to do now is to add props to the set to make it look like a bedroom.

Character profiles

I created character profiles for the characters in my animation I coloured them in so I know what colours I will be using o it can be kept consistent throughout the animation.

storyboard

I created a storyboard that shows an idea of what will happen in my animation. I wrote down what happens in each scene, the type of shot, and the sounds that would be included in the scene.

animation mind map

I created a mind map for my animation and what is going to happen in it and the characters that are in the animation. I also wrote down ideas about the backgrounds and how I will be doing the animation.
