First animation practice.

Today we started to try and get our heads round animation, stop frame.

We were put into groups, given 12 sheets on newsprint; ask to number them

and then to create 'animation' with simple motifs such as a ball or a leaf or even 

just a line.

The exercise was there to give us an understanding how stop frame worked

and the bare bones of what is required to do it.



Pros

• Eased into the process
• Collaborative group ideas
• Simple motifs made for simple animation

Cons

• I could of tried to use the time to relate the exercise to my author more
• Used some simple animation software (App) to put it all together at the end
• Have more input to group
• Done something more interesting than a line that moves

All in all it was a good start but I should of done something more challenging and used our group time better to work together not just create separate objects then put them all in a space.
