We have decided to use the idea of building Lego city to discuss the concept of fraction walls and equivalence, with the different sizes of Lego bricks representing different fractions (E.g 1/2, 1/3 etc). Our animation was based on the mathematical principle of using fractions which were represented by Lego bricks. It also allowed us to plan the materials we would need to bring in order to get the most out of the programme. I found story boards particularly helpful in aligning our groups thoughts on how our iStopMotion movie should look and cement our plan of action for next weeks input. We then moved on to prepare for our activity next week by creating a story board of our iStopMovie. We have thus decided not to use these bendy figures in next weeks animation activity. At first we thought this would be a fairly easy task however, we quickly found out that the bendy figures did not bend very well and they were extremely hard to place in a position without them falling over as their heads are extremely large compared to their bodies.Īs such we found it hard to make the movie without our fingers being in the shot holding the figures and it was also hard to get a progression within our shots that made it look like the figure was moving. ![]() ![]() We were given the task of using a bendy figure to create a short animation which involves movement. This app allows you to take snapshots of items and then plays the snapshot as a movie. My group and I then began to explore Stop Motion animation through iStopMotion. I found this tutorial particularly helpful : Prior to this input I had no experience of creating animations and was not familiar with these apps, so I decided to first look up what animation was. Animation involves “the stringing together of a sequence of static images, generally so that they appear to move” (Jarvis, 2015, p89).Īccording to Moving Image Education there are five main types of animation:Ģ.Stop-motion – example is plasticine modelsģ.Pixillation – humans become the puppetsĤ.Drawn – example is the classical Disney animationĥ.Computer – also known as CGI and found in games and movies.Īfter finding this definition, my group and I decided to watch some tutorial videos on the iStopMotion app. These are creator apps which allow people of all ages to create their own animations using a variety of themes, characters and tools. ![]() In today’s digital technology input we were exploring animation through apps such as Puppet Pals and iStopMotion.
