animator and authour visit

Blog entry
This week we had an animator come in to teach us some animation techniques, show us different types of animation and different types of animation we could create.
Some of the animating techniques we learnt were maybe not start the film with all characters on stage, but to start with a plain shot of the background and then to bring in the characters according to how the story was planned out.
He also taught us some types of animation; my favourite out of the few he showed us was the clay-mation, i enjoyed this because it’s something that’s not easy to make, takes a long time to create a final piece. So that was why i enjoyed it, the downside to clay-mation is that you need a lot of time and effort put into it if you want your animation piece to be presented well, and i don’t know if our group has the patients to carry on this animation technique.
The animator also taught us you can have different types of animation (as in genre of film) such as; action, horror, thriller, romance and much more.
Or task was to create a horror like feeling from the script we got and put the final ideas down on the storyboard, i came up with showing a kitchen then a women coming in to open the freezer and calling her husband’s name, but there is no answer, she starts to get scared and then after calling her husband’s name over and over he finally appears behind her giving the women a shock.
