lego animation review.

In my lego animation i would definitely make some changes to it if i had to make it again, the first change that i would make it it would be the background that has whit margins around it that i have forgot to cut it out, and the camera its not well placed  and i would make the animation a bit longer because it was to short and didn't really tell a story.



What i like about it

I like my animation for the simple fact that was the first time that i have ever tried to make something like this and i went for it and finished my whole project, and i like how even know that i changed my plan at the last minute ive still acomplished my assignment.

What i would of done differently

I have spend to much time planning this animation because i didn't really know what exactly that i wanted to do, so i kept changing my planing ideas and i lost a lot time doing that, so i didn't have much time to do the actual animation when i decided what i was going to do.

Review



I have shared this animation through putting it up on my blog and getting reviews from my peers. Those reviews can be found in comments here:

I think i have  achieved what i wanted because when first started making the animation i had no clue how to use the programme and now i feel much more confident in using the iStopMotion software and i know if I use this software in the future i will do a much better job with it and if i had to do it again i would make it better by making it longer and and making more movement with the characters and geting a better background for it.
I have learned how to position the camera for my istopmotion animation, and i didn't relise that it takes 12 shots to make one second of animation and my animation was just over 60 shots so for the time that the animations is made of it is a lot of shots just for 5seconds of animation, i didn't think that would be that much

Planning

For the supervised Arts Leadership project me and my team will be making a video that will be a short promotional piece for middlesbrough college where we will be interviewing students that were doing the arts award.

My contribution to this team will be the script writing and help editing the video ones is done, taking unwanted parts and ill be the one writing the questions that we going to be asking the students.

1. The project as given to us by the tutor
2. decide who would do what
We  need to organise ourselves to work with those people we would get on best with and have similar interests in video
3. write questions to ask (my job)
I will need to write questions which will take a bit of thought and can not be answered with just one or two words. I will need to think of scripts that could be interesting!

4. book cameras
Cameras, tripods, batteries will need to be booked out in advance from the technicians office.

5. Arrange to interview people
I will need to make sure that it is ok for the students to be interviewed and the tutors do not mind them being taken out of lessons

6. Book room for the interviews
I will need to use a room in the college that is not needed by other students or staff for lessons and workshops

7.Film interview
Although I may not be operating the actual camera I will still need to be there to make sure everything is running properly and going according to plan

8. Edit interview
This will be David's responsibility although I still need to show a copy of the finished edited video

9. Upload Interview

10. Write report and evaluation
I will also need to make sure that I get feedback on my script from other people in the class

We are aiming for one week to prepare; one week to film and edit

There are no risk assessments needed for venues as we are filming on college premises and all risk assessment is covered by college health and safety policy.

Lego animation characters/background used.


This is the lego characters that i have chose to use in my animation.
I have used 13 characters in total for this animation, and a cop and moto bike toys and all this characters and the toys i have used belong to my little brother Joseph =) 
Then i have searched for clouds backgrounds and i have chosen the one that you can see in my animation, after i chose that background i have printed in A3 format so was big enough to get all the characters in that space that the background could cover it and the n i have chosen the programme called iStopMotion 3 to make the finished piece of my animation and that programme works by taking a lot of frames and then moving the characters around so their give the sensation that their a actually moving.










UNIT 2-ARTS-LEADERSHIP

The project we have agreed on as a small group is to make a short promotional video about people's views on the Arts award.

My group:
Danny-Camera
Ryan-Editor
David-Sound
Matheus-Script


In my group i will be in charge of the script and I will have the responsibility of telling a story in quick and clear way. The script must have the understanding of the structure, the show or film structure. The scriptwriter sometimes is also responsible for adapting a book into a film, but in my case i will have to write  this script from scratch and come up with an idea that will work with what my groups wants to do and a script writer is also responsible for making significant changes to the script very often without losing the flow of the plot.

I would like to develop my scriptwriting and storyline skills working on a project that is a documentary based rather than an imaginary story.
