Animation

The past few lessons we have been working on and talking about animationish. Animationish is very fun but can be hard at times. I am enjoying working on it so far. We created a walking man and are now making ourselves say "hello, my name is...", by taking photos of each sound in photo booth, importing them into the background of animationish and tracing our faces to make it look like we're saying that phrase. I have completed my face and I only have a couple of things to touch up which shouldn't take too long.

angryalien.com has a lot of good examples of limited animation. Limited animation is where they just move the eyes, mouth or arms and leave everything else still, creating the look that it is animated and moving, when really only parts of it are moving. Disney films are a good example of full animation, where they make everything move and make it all look real, though it is in a cartoon form.

I'm looking forward to working a bit more with animationish and then moving on to iStop motion!
