I was not able to make my animation today as i stop motion was not working on some of the apple macs and also some of the other apple mac's wouldn't let me log on and it will be fixed by next week.

Proposal

Proposal

For my animation I have decided to use human models. I have decided to use people instead of any other models because I think it will look more effective and I will be able to get things to look out of the ordinary. I will also be using clay to make it look like body parts are morphing. I will only be using one person in my animation as I am only doing a very simple animation with one simple morph in it. I will be having the actor walking to wards the table placing there fist on the table to make it look like they are punching it and also I will be using skin coloured clay to rap around there hand so that it looks like there hand is morphing or even melting into the table. The programs and equipment I will be using will be a HUE Webcam, iMovie, some skin coloured clay and I Stop Motion. I always wanted to use humans as models as I am a fan of Jan Svankmajer. I like Jan Svankmajers work because of it being very surreal, I like the way that he makes people morph and also on one of his animations people can be seen producing food and they are acting like a vending machine. This animation is called Jídlo (Food). I will be asking Phil Cocker as he is very willing to be the actor in my film.

Phil Cocker – This is the actor I will be using in my animation. 

This is the programme i Stop Motion that i will be taking the pictures on to put together to make the animation. 

This is Jan Svankmajers - Jídlo (Food) that was made in 1992
This animation a surreal animation and the animation was using human models but he was also using clay to make it look like there bodies are doing stuff out of the ordinary like there mouth opening really big and also the animator used other props to make it look like they had a small elevator in there chest that food comes out of. my opinions on this animation is that I find if weird and slightly scary as it looks like they are doing stuff that is not normal for a human body to do. 

This is iMovie - this is the programe i will be using to edit my footage on.

Animation Research

These animations have been made with people in what looks like a cinema theatre. This was made with 100's of different still images. Sometimes people use modelling clay can be used. e.g.

In this animation it has been made with alot of different still images. This also uses modelling clay in certain parts to make it less life like. It was made by Jan Svankmajer.
