Changing my idea

I decided that my original idea for the model-based animation was, although good in theory, going to be difficult to execute well. I thought that it wouldn't be effective once finished, and it would also be time-consuming to make. To make things easier, and to ensure an interesting final animation, I decided that I would do a lyric video in a cut-out animation style. The song it will be for is The Phoenix by Fall Out Boy. As well as the lyrics, I will also use some accompanying images. Here is an example of the lyrics:

Props/set

Today, I created the set from my animation. I found a cardboard box and a piece of dark blue cloth to create the inside of a pocket. I stapled the cloth in places to the box to secure it in a certain way. I then tested my characters in the box to see the way I wanted them to be placed. Next week, I will start filming.

Exposure Sheets

Above are the exposure sheets and the video we made in today's lesson. The exposure sheets were made from the audio of someone saying "elephant." We had to figure the exposure sheets out using garage band. From this, we then created a video to go with it. Unfortunately, we did not have time to add the sound.
