Over the last couple of months we have had a number Digital Media Tools lectures, the lectures consisted of information about different types of images and how they can affect you. For example the narrative between two images, we were also asked to take five images which would tell a visual story. Me and my partner for this task Megan came up with a story about a friend phoning another friend, but they are angry with them so they put the phone down on them. The frames around the images would tell the story. The next lecture we had was about animation we watched a short video “A Brief History of Pretty Much Everything”. Throughout the lecture we spoke about different types of animation that is used in the industry; stop motion, rotoscoping, cut out collage, frame animation, time lapse and after effects. At the end of the lecture we were asked to come up with our own idea for an animation, Phoebe and I came up with an idea of two shoes battling each other. For the next lecture we had to have our animation created, so I found two types of shoes also a shoe boxes I took a number of shots for the animation. Once I had all the shots needed I then uploaded the images and added them into Flash, we adjusted the frame per minute to make the shoes look like they were moving on their own. Once we had all the images in a sequence me and Phoebe had to decide which song we should add to the animation, we finally decided to add Paolo Nutini New Shoes to the animation. But because the animation is so short we had to use audio software to cut the song down to fit with our animation, once we had we then added it to the animation which made it final.
I found creating the animation fun but it takes a lot of time to get all the shots needed even for a short clip. Then having to cut and edit sound to fit the animation, but once it was created it was well worth the time and effort used.
