P3. Animation process and equipment set up

Flash

I am using flash to create the "dream" effect. For each object I created I made a different layer. I then put the object in the right position by using keyframes. To move an object, such as the football I used a motion tween. To do this you "ctrl" and click on the start keyframe. You then press "create motion tween". To get it moving you put the object at the starting position on the first keyframe then at the end of the keyframe you put the object where you want it to stop. You can tell that the motion tween has worked if a line shows the journey of the object and if the keyframes turn blue.

Stop motion in flash:

After I had the stop motion pictures I needed I imported them into flash and put them into the order they needed to be in. I then edited some of them e.g. added z's to show snoring. I did it all on different layers and used keyframes to place them, like I did before.

All animation put together:

After editing the stop motion in flash I put all the videos I had created together in premiere pro. I also added sound effects and effects e.g film dissolve.

P3. Final animation planning

'The dream' 

It will be a short film. I will be making it on flash and mix it with stop motion. The short film will then be put together in premiere. I have chosen these styles as I am interested to see what they will look like together.
The genre will be slightly comedy and fantasy. I think it will be fantasy because it's about someone's dream.

Storyline: The animation will be 2 minutes, 120 seconds
The man will be sleeping and dreaming about being a footballer. He would score a goal and whilst celebrating get hit by the ball. After this the person will wake up and get ready for work, unhappy. The guy works in an office wearing a suit at a computer.

P3. Set design for stop motion

Set 1 will be used to film the opening of my animation. It will be created out of cardboard, tissue paper and a real clock. I will be using a wooden mannequin to be the person.

The second set will be the office where the character works. It will be used for the "at work" scene which is the last scene. It will also be made out of cardboard and tissue paper.

P3. Final animation treatment

P3 Animation progress so far

My first idea was to do a lyric video for the song I miss her by Jessie J. I did this on flash:

I decided that I didn't want to do this anymore as I didn't like it. Also there are many lyric videos for the song. Instead I have now decided to do a music video but still for the song I miss her by Jessie J. I am still using flash. I am using different angle lines to show movement a bit like its a video being rotoscoped.

This is my music video so far. I have done the introduction and the window that is in the video all the way through.
