The last scene of my animation involves people dancing, I've been experimenting with animation dance cycle. Because of the style and length of my animation I'm not going to draw hundreds and hundreds of frames but instead repeat between 5-8 different drawings.
Stop Motion developments ... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KS259hryhdw
However, after after working on my copy I felt that the stop motion element of my animation was not working and bringing the two sections together (stop motion and copy) the animation would be very busy and difficult to follow on a cross platform projection. Also the resolution and quality of the moving image would not be good enough either.
I have decided to rewrite my storyboard and I will create my animation in Flash - this way I have more control over colour and general editing.
My animation so far ...
I have decided that part of my animation will be stop motion. Over the last week I have been getting together all the software and equipment I will need.
The animation will be made from my own paper cut outs
Here is the first scene ...
Through my research and work my theme or basis for the animation is 'Positive Propaganda' - the basic idea is influencing people's attitude in what I believe to be a positive way.
Initially I looked at the artwork used in Russian Cold War posters and WW2 British posters to see if there was anything to be inspired by ....
I started off with some really basic compositions simple shapes and a bold 'blocky' appearance mimicking some of the styles I had seen in Russian poster art.
Some more bits and pieces ....
