3D Animation Complete

I have completed my 3D animation I have edited it and put it onto youtube.  After I had captured the animation on iStopMotion I exported it as a quicktime movie and then edited it on iMovie where I added a voice over of The Very Hungry Caterpillar story which was on youtube and I converted it to an mp3 so that I could put it onto iMovie after I had done the voice over I put in a instrumental song in the background so that there was no quite bits in the back ground the song is an instrumental of Singing In The Rain.  After finishing editing I uploaded my 3D animation to youtube.

3D Animation Storyboard

This is my storyboard for my 3D animation of "The Hungry Caterpillar"


Shot 1 the caterpillar is on the ground with the sun shining and audio is "one Sunday morning the warm sun came up and - pop! out of the egg came a tiny very hungry caterpillar".
Shot 2 the caterpillar is kind of standing up  the audio is "He started to look for some food".

Shot 11a butterfly in the middle audio is "He was a beautiful caterpillar".

 

Animation Ideas - Mind Maps

To get an Idea for animation I created two mind maps one for 2D Ideas and one for 3D ideas.  When I came to doing the mind maps I had a few ideas for my 2D creation but not a lot for my 3D.

Here is a picture of my mind map for my 2D animations.











My 2D I came up with several ideas including South Park, Doodle Jump, Angry Bird, Mickey Mouse, Futurama, Handy Manny, Simpsons, Family Guy, Peppa Pig and Retro video game e.g. Space Invaders, Pong, Pac-Man etc.

At first I thought I would go with South Park because that use to be done as a cut out animation but I changed my mind and went with Peppa Pig with a twist.

Here is a picture of my mind map for my 3D animations. 












My 3D I had difficulty coming up with ideas but I got a few in the end including The Very Hungry Caterpillar, Wallace and Gromit, A Car Race, Morph and Doctor Who.

I chose to go with The Very Hungry Caterpillar which I though would be a could idea because it was a book I read when I was younger and I remember reading it and my sister is now reading it because she is in nursery.  

2D Animation Complete

I have completed my 2D animation and edited it and uploaded it to youtube.  When I finished capturing it on iStopMotion I exported it as a quicktime movie and imported it onto iMovie.  On iMovie I added in sound to the animation and an inter title with the production name and one at the end with the starring roles and people that helped.  After finishing that I saved it and exported it again as a quicktime movie and uploaded it to youtube.  The only thing I struggled with on iMovie was that the fact I had spelt my name wrong on the actual animation and did not know how to cover it up on iMovie so I asked Mike to help and he got it sorted for me.

Here is a link for my 2D animation which is on YouTube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nTPbiY_DyRI&feature=plcp

2D Animation Storyboard

This is my storyboard for my 2D animation.  There is nine screen shots for this storyboard and for everyone screen shot there is a short description of what will happen in the scene and then I wrote down what audio will be used in the scene.  The drawings aren't perfect but that doesn't matter as long as you get a brief outline of what will happen during the animation.

This is the first sheet and the first scene is a view of Peppa Pig's house with the Peppa Pig theme song.
Second scene will be a view of Peppa's house with Peppa appearing in front of the house with the Peppa Pig theme song.  The third scene will zoom into Peppa's house and the title will appear and the theme song will come to an end.  The fourth scene starts in the woods where Peppa is walking happily through the woods, the audio being used is Peppa whistling.  The fifth scene is the intro of Elmer Fudd and he is walking in the woods to try to find something to hunt and he says be very very quiet I'm hunting.   








The sixth scene Peppa approaches the 'Hunting Season' sign and then gets worried when she hears a gun shot, the audio is the sound of a shotgun being fired.  The seventh scene Elmer walk onto the scene to where Peppa is, Peppa says 'Hi I'm Peppa Pig' and Elmer says ' I'm Elmer Fudd and I like hunting'.  Eight scene Elmer Fudd shoots Peppa and the audio is a sound of a shotgun being fired and a squeal of a pig.  The final scene is Peppa laying on the floor dead and the audio is of Elmer Fudd laughing.

2D Animation (So Far)

So far on my 2D animation I have thought of my idea for my animation, my idea is Peppa Pig meets Elmer Fudd.  My idea will be done as a cut out animation.  I have drawn my cut outs and i have done separate faces for Peppa with different facial expressions and I have done several number of eyes with different looks, I got the looks off the internet and printed it off to prove that I have researched something for my animation.  Also I am currently trying to sort out a way that Elmer Fudd will walk.

I managed to sort out away for Elmer Fudd to walk because his legs originally were like he was sneaking up on somebody but if I had done that he wouldn't of moved forward, so I just did his legs normally so that he could walk forward.  I have done two backgrounds i have done done the hill where Peppa Pigs house is and that will be used for the introduction of the animation.  The other background is in the woods where Elmer Fudd is hunting and Peppa is also there, I got the background from this from a scene of an episode of Looney Tunes where Elmer Fudd is hunting Daffy Duck and Bugs Bunny.
