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.
