Degu + Walnut
Why not, thats why. Was a bit bored so decided to do an animation based on true events. With the voice talents of Ben and Jerry. Not my best work but I only did it in a few hours so don't take it too seriously. Not that you could anyway.

Super 8 camera
I have recently bought a super 8 camera as I want to learn more about using film and widen my knowledge of the technique. I like using digital but now also want to explore other methods of film making. I have used a super 8 once before but don't feel I fully learnt how to use it. I like to quality that film produces and would like the opportunity to be able to use it in the future if I want too.

Coraline
Last wednesday I went to see the film Coraline at the cinema. I absolutely loved it and that It was visually wonderful, and very well directed. I thought both the animation and puppets were fantastic and it had a style that I have not seen for a while in popular feature films. It makes a nice change from computer animation.

Who Framed Rodger Rabbit?
Directed by: Robert Zemeckis
Who Framed Rodger Rabbit has always been one of my favorite films and I have recently included it briefly in my visual theory essay.
Not only do I find it entertaining but like the films concept of toons being able to interact with reality.
Animation Exercise-Walk Cycle
This walk cycle was created during a visit from the animator Phil Warner. He gave us several tips and lots of advice when animating walking which I found extremely useful and will defiantly use in any future animations I create.

Animation Exercise-Canon
I am fairly pleased with this exercise but feel the canon needed to bounce backwards in order to achieve a more accurate effect.
Animation Exercise-Lip Syncing
This animation was created during a lip syncing exercise in which the class was divided into small groups, each producing a small section of film based on the dialogue given to us. All outcomes were then placed in the correct order and made into this film.
I was in a group with Matt and Amer (see other blog links) and we created the clips of Obama having lunch with a snail and the random images surrounding the phrase "Oooh look look look!" I am pleased with the out come, although I think the lips are not always in sync with the sound I still feel it's very funny.

Simon's Cat by Simon Tofield

This is one of my favorite collection of animations as they are not only funny, but feature all the typical characteristics and mannerisms of a cat which you recognize during the films. It is obvious the animator is very observant to behavior and feel they are simple but very effective.
Dog Walking
This is an extra exercise I did myself in order to practice the movement of walking in animals. This dog was originally going to be in the flower exercise but I later decided to make it an extra exercise. It is my first attempt at making a character walk through drawing (as you can probably tell lol) I am pleased with aspects of the movement but again feel that more frames are needed, particularly before the sequence begins to loop as the jump it too much.
Stretch and Squash 3
I feel this exercise is an improvement from the others, but still feel it needs more frames to make the movement more fluid.
Stretch and Squash 2
Here is the second exercise for the stretch and squash exercises. For this we had to animate a flower growing from it's seed. I feel it is an improvement on the tap, but not much of one lol. I feel this one needs more frames and character to make it more effective. Don't ask me what type of flower it's suppose to be as I have no idea lol.
Stretch and Squash
The following is my first attempt at animating a tap dripping. As you can tell, it was not the most successful of exercises. It needed more frames in order to make the movement more fluid and to prevent the droplet looking like it's having a fit.
Well, hello there
Hello everyone (except Naomi) here is my first attempt at a blog. Enjoy, I am off to eat pie.
