Research

I have decided that I want to make a model-based animation, but I am unsure of what I would like it to be as the idea I had last week doesn't sound as fun or as interesting to me as it did at first. I will be researching some stop motion animation videos to inspire me.

This is a stop motion animation series called The Most Popular Girls in School. I like this because it uses barbies instead of plasticine models. I also like it because of the voices of the barbies which are really funny and make the animation more interesting.

I like this pixilation animation as it uses both a person and post-it notes and it looks really fun and interesting.

Planning my own animation

For my own animation, I think I will do a model-based animation with the models made out of plasticine. I think I'd like to do this as I like other model-based animations I've seen and I enjoyed creating the mini one I did earlier in the year. Also, I have an idea of the kind of thing I'd like to create for the animation.

IDEAS

My main idea is to recreate the Supernatural episode Mystery Spot. I think this will be fun as I could create a Dean model to kill many different times in many different ways. I also think I could add moose antlers to the Sam model to play on the fandom joke that he is a moose due to his height.

MODELS/CHARACTERS

I will only have two characters - Sam and Dean - and I will add moose antlers to Sam to add to the humour. Other models I will need include a gun, a car, a desk, a sausage, an axe, and a dog to kill dean and I will also need a little bed for them and a radio.

SCRIPT

The rough script will be similar to the one from supernatural. It will start with Heat of the Moment by Asia, which will then play every time sam wakes up again after Dean dies.

The full version of the script is here. I will cut it down so that the animation lasts about a minute.
