Proposal

I am thinking of doing an animation of two claymen of fighting each other with a castle like background which ail be around 20 seconds. My theme will has a medievil feel to it with the castle and music which is ride of the valkyries well as a good fight which will be fun to watch for my audience.

I would use iStopMotion because that is the software for filming in steps which will be my main software.

I will use iMovie for Editing once I have done my animation.

I will use Garageband for editing my ride of the valkyries which is my background music.

Afterwards I will use Save it in my blogger which will show everyone what I have done. It tock 12 weeks to finish this animation on every wednesday.

How I made David vs Philip movie

How I made My David vs Philip video

I made this in iStopMotion. I first made two clayman to due battle with each other, then I made the background by using a printout of an castle from google images and slicking then on cardboard, afterward I got an camera that I could slick it into the computer then I gone onto iStopMotion, on iStopMotion I cilcked onto the source on the top right of the screen and gone To get the camera that I slicked in the computer. I then aimed the camera in the right way to make my video. I clicked as many time as I could in the timeframe of 3 seconds then moving the claymen to match the scene that I am doing After I have done all the shots that I need I saved.

I then uploaded the iStopMotion video onto Imovie to edit the scenes that I need .the scenes ended down below in which I took out the hands on the video by right clicking on the image and clicking remove from selection, then placed the scene up top so I can connect the scenes together and then added a start and an end. the stat is an introduction for the video while the end is for the credits. afterwards I found an an sound from youtube which is ride of the valkyries and put it in Garageband to edit.

Evaluation

Evaluation for animation

My throghts are of a sinple nature. I thought that my animation did show what I wanted to show which is the battle of two claymen which shows a short but epic battle that has character which I am very proud of. it was very difficult to get the camera where I wanted it to go but then it was done it was straight forward. The best bit for me was completing the animation which was a relief that it was done and made me proud of the work that I have done. here is my animation which I am most happy with.

I used iMovie to edit my animation, it was much easier to use then the rest of the software because it was the software that I have used the most so I was more familiar with this software then garageband. here is what it looked like when I put the animation in iMovie. it was fun putting it together because all I had to to was left click so I can choose what bit I want and the bits that I want to cut out, then I put the bit at the bottom to the top by copy and paste which was very easy because I did it many times.

The task made me think of how I will conplete other tasks in my life because I believe this task was the best in me managing what I had to do so it got me thinking that I got to be more practical in future work and in my daily life. Using garageband for my background theme was very difficult to use which I even needed my teacher Kevin to help me out.

On youtube there is an animation very close to to mine in terms of both mine and the persons David vs goliath and which is on this link which in my option is much better because there is better pacing with his compared to mine and that it follows the original canon more closely. An complaint of  mine that I have made is when I had an moment where I had an repeat of the same animation which starts at 11 seconds of my finished animation which was a mistake of mine which has taught me to look more carefully at my work so that I don't make mistakes.

Here is the animation from Sam Matthews that I have compared mine to in this link.

Overall I think I did the best I can.and hope to morein the future.
