What I have Done So Far ...

So far I have started my new 3D animation, I have done the schedule and the production risk assessment and also my recce for it as well I have started on the characters by making them out of clay.

my new 3D Fruit Proposal

 The medium I am going to use for my 3D fruit animation is going to be clay animated. I am also going to take series of shots about 19 per second on a SLR camera. The animation is going to be Fruit drowning in water and then getting saved by cherries. It is going to be based in a kitchen sink which is the main setting of the animation, once I have finished the animation I am the going to put music on it and put a bit of voice over so that you get each individual character.

My audience is going to be aged 5 – 12 years of age simply because it fruit talking and moving, and it’s something that I would associate with children in this age group rather than someone older. This age group is also because when I have done my research like in the TV program ooglies, I found that this age group is what they try and aim for as well.

My style for my animation is going to be quiet bright and colourful in some area, but when the apple comes on it’s going to go a bit darker to show that he is an evil apple. Also it going to be set in a natural environment simply because it fruit and from my research in ooglies they seem to use a more natural setting and use things which you would expect in that place of the house. My setting is going to be really simple and when the cherries come on they are going to be bright so tat the audience know that they are trying to help the grapes in a way.

I got the idea of my 3D animation from the TV show ooglies, this show is really like what I want to achieve because it uses the same types of techniques I want to use and a similar setting as well. I have also been looking at different clay animated shows like the morph and seen how they made the characters move and they way they moved there mouths and body. My animation is going to start off with an apple moaning and grumbling, then he sees the grapes and like the pipe- pipper he leads them to the sink and one by one they go into the water but can't swim, then the cherries come to the rescue and save them then there is going to be a close up of the apples face grumbling, and then you see the cherries bring the grapes alive and then they sing a song at the end.

The length of my animation has to be about 1 minute long so during this time I’m going to have to fit in with all my scenes with the apple and the grapes drowning and the cherry’s saving them ECT.

My recce and production schedule for my new 3D Animation

These are my recce and my production schedule for my new 3D animation, I am doing the animation at my home because there I have a sink and a blender and everything I need is there which is good, because I can work at my own paste and don't have a time limit, also I am not limited to resources.

My new 3D fruit animation idea- schedules and risk assessment

This is my production schedule for my 3D animation of my fruit idea. This is a another idea which is going to be my finial one, it tells you were about I'm going to be shooting, and what hazards might be a problem and how I'm going to reduce it.

This is my shooting schedule and my shot list for my 3D animation, these tell me what shots I'm going to do and were about's I'm going to do the shooting and what days ect.

My 3D Animation- Bear reading a book

This is part of my teddy bear 3D animation, know I have done part of it I have relied that it isn't as good as what I expected it to be, and that I am going to do another 3D animation which I have a mind map for, the reason why I don't think it will work because I have done it in images so it doesn't work as well as I want it too also I needed more images to make it flow more.

Research Into My Encyclopedia

This is my research of were I found some of the information to give me a bit of background knowledge of animation I then put it into my own words and set it out like a book.

On this link underneath is were I got I found some information about the dates of when animation was developed, the link underneath is a timeline of events of animation, I used some of this information because it was really useful but I put it in my own words.

There is a couple of links were I some information about the persistence of vision from, on the websites they were okay to get a bit of background from and to get more information on it because I wasn't quiet sure on it.

On the link below this is were I got a bit of information about what is animation, this link was really useful because it had pictures and short clips on it, which I had a look at. It was really helpful and useful.

the link below is were I got some information about Willis O'Brien and how he created king kong the film.

what I have done so far

Today I have completed my 2D animation and put music onto it which sounds really good with it I have also started doing my 3D animation, which I took pictures of a couple of days ago. I have also finished my scene for my 2D animation for my monkey's and my human setting.
