During today i have worked on a cut out animation that is called tony and the rocket ship which is posted on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fzvdr8krNSI&feature=youtu.be

Whilst doing the cutout drawings we had to design a character and see what we could use for a bit of a story line. it was difficult trying to decide what storyline to have and a type of character to use and we firstly decided to make a character with hands built on an the hands weren't even close to resembling one another so we scrapped that idea and went with a character with no hands and had a telepathic power although it wasn't show in the short movie.


Whilst using istop motion it took alot of time as we needed to adjust slightly the image of the cutout to make it more smother with the motion of the character who was walking across a planets land to get back to his spaceship. whilst doing this we made a mistake as it jumped so we had to go back and add in more images to make it more smother




once we had finished it we exported it using quick time player and then imported it into imovie on the mac so i could add music to make the short movie more entertaining for the viewers via YouTube. there was a problem although as it was only a short i couldn't have a usual music genre so i used garage band and created an aery type of sci-fi music that only lasted the same amount of time as the movie.


it was quite easy to do when we learned how to use the program by doing it but the only thing was its a bit finicky having to move everything a little bit at a time other than that it was quite enjoyable.
