this video as inspired me on how to make rocks for set design I think this is really good way of doing this design

This video shows how they used to animate in the 1930s and it shows how they storyboard this is giving me ideas for my own animation.

I found this video very helpful because they show how the animators design the characters an how they crate the film.  

Iv been looking in to old animation an how they used to make it happen am finding it very interesting I would like to have a go at hand drawing animation.

I like this set because its very creatively done this set is from the film called pirates which is all done in animation.

Am interested in sets for my animation so am going to look at a rang of sets to get idea's to use for my own set. My first set going to be class room am not to shore on how am going to do it yet so am going to have to research in to how they make the sets and look in to modelling making.

Aardman Animations, Ltd., also known as Aardman Studios, or simply as Aardman, is a British animation studio based in Bristol, United Kingdom. The studio is known for films made using stop-motion clay animation techniques, particularly those featuring Plasticine characters Wallace and Gromit. It entered the computer animation market with Flushed Away (2006).

Wallace and Gromit is a British stop motion comedy franchise. Created by Nick Park of Aardman Animations, the series consists of four short films and a feature-length film. The series centres on Wallace, an absent-minded inventor and cheese enthusiast, along with his companion Gromit, a silent yet intelligent anthropomorphic dog.
The duo live in the north of England at 62 West Wallaby Street. Wallace is primarily voiced by veteran actor Peter Sallis, and alternatively by Ben Whitehead when Sallis is not available. Gromit remains silent, communicating only through means of facial expressions and body language.
Wallace and Gromit has been translated into over 20 languages and has a particularly big following in Japan, as well as in its native Britain and across Europe and the United States.
Because of their endearing (if quirky) personalities and widespread popularity, the characters have been described as positive international icons of both modern British culture in particular and British people in general. BBC News has called them "some of the best-known and best-loved stars to come out of the UK".^[1] Icons has said they have done "more to improve the image of the English world-wide than any officially appointed ambassadors".^[2]
The short films The Wrong Trousers and A Close Shave and the full length feature The Curse of the Were-Rabbit released in 2005 have all received Academy Awards. The first short film, A Grand Day Out first shown in 1989, was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Animated Short Film, but lost to Creature Comforts, another animated creation of Nick Park.
The Curse of the Were-Rabbit was Nick Park's first production since his five-film deal with DreamWorks broke down in 2008 after only three films; also including Flushed Away. Park said later that culture clash contributed to the collapse of the relationship: DreamWorks couldn't help but try to Americanise the very British Wallace and Gromit, tarnishing some of the duo's nostalgic charm.
The most recent short film A Matter of Loaf and Death was likewise nominated in 2010, but lost to Logorama. The films have received critical acclaim, with all four of the short films having 100% positive ratings on aggregation site Rotten Tomatoes and the feature film having a 95% rating, placing it in the top 20 animated feature films on the site.
In 2012, Wallace and Gromit featured on an advert saying 'Inventing For Britain' which was part of a poster campaign to promote British trade and business aboard in the year they hosted the Olympics. In 2013, sculptures of Gromit went on display in Bristol, many decorated by famous artists, they were auctioned off in October 2013 in aid of the Wallace and Gromit Foundation charity and raised over £2 million.
In 2013, Peter Lord tweeted that there were no plans at the moment for a new short film.

For my FMP am looking in to rang of different ways to play around with animation.
Iv been looking at videos on different ways they use animation in advertisements to give me ideas on what am going to base my animation on iv got three ideas that am going to try out see witch one works the best.
I'm going try using a rang of ways to crate my animation am going try out using random objects an all so going try drawing the animation am going to research different animation artist that use different techniques.   

      

 

iv started making mad hatter theres still a lot more work to be done iv mostley been focusing on getting the modle to stand up iv used weights in the fit to help balance out a bit more.

 

I need to design a hat to fit his head im thinking of using card bored then corvering it with fabric to give it some detale.

 

Doris is character that I have came up with for a mardy teacher that gets bullied by all the children in the class. Doris is an old woman who is very mardy an boring an never as any fun.  

 

 

I find that playing arround with clay i can come up with better idears for character to use for my animation.

I got shown this video of modles that studnts have made this as lead to me coming up with more idears to try.

This a video of how they made chickin run whitch shows you them making armatures and shows you some of the clay modles they made for the film .

Claymation mouth movements

 

Iv been looking in to mouth movents for clay animation i came a cross this picture of mouth movements which i found help full for when i do my animation i can reflect back on this picture.

Armature design

I was researching on how to build armatures because i cept on breaking mine and none of them was working so i had a look at some videos and images to see how other artist had made theres i found that i was using the wrong wire.

walcie gromit video

Iv been looking at videos on youtube and i came a cross this whitch showed me how wallice gromit was made an how they do the claymation and what sets and shots they do every week.

Diffrent claymation arist talk about what shots they have to do and how they do it.

  


I tryed using tin foil over wire to see how it holderd out i did a animation with to try it out it whent well but when i put plasterseen over it it started to break and did not go to plan. Iv bought some amerture wire witch is a lot stronger and it bends more .

Animation

 

This claymation did not work i could not get it to stand up i made the head to big whitch made it keep falling over.

Walice an gromit has been a big inspration to me because its gave me some really good idears to show me witch path i want to go with my project.

I found this image really intresting because it as inspired me to look at designing my own animation scean i like the way they have set up the area of the animaton.

At the start of my project i began looking in to clay animation an looking up infomation about nick park an how he creates his clay figures whitch began to inspire me to have a go at makeing my own clay animation i started by designing my characters heads seeing what shapes an formes i could come up with then i began designing the full bodys of my characters by putting a wire structure in the senter of the characters body making the figure a stable structure.

I started designing the tea party scean out of alice in wonderland i began by sketching out my idears for the tea party i skeatched out the table with the characters sat around the table whitch gave me the idear to design them out of plasterscean then lead to playing around with stop motion i found a really intresting app whitch let me play around with animation videos.

Im carrying on going a head with animation to see what my final out come will look like im hopfull going to design more characters to play around with so i can start at looking in to making a movie clip im making shore i can move all joints in the body so i can have more play in my movie i want to design a background to go with the animation to make it more intresting to the viewer.

Im going to resarch more in to animation to see where it takes me an to see if it leads me in a diffrent dierection with my work.

Pop art

Pop art is an art movement that came around in the mid 50s in Britain. Pop art presented a challenge to traditions of fine art by including imagery from popular culture by advertising news in pop art materials is sometimes visually from known context isolaterd and combined with unrelated material . The concept of pop art refers not as much to the art itself as to the attitudes that lead to it.
