The ups and downs of animating

Hello there! It's Anna, here to tell you more about our animation frolics!

Over the past three weeks now, we've been busy, busy, busy, animating our socks off to get them finished in time for our opening, and slowly but surely they have all stated taking shape. I've been really enjoying animating! It's so rewarding watching back your 14 seconds of work after 3 hours of hard work!.....well that doesnt't make it sound that fun, but it really is! I have such a big respect for animators now, like the Aardman gang who create full length films! Would take a while!

Here are some pics from one particular animation session; :)


Ciaran and Cathryn creating their voluptuous figurines!

Me and Katie have been creating an animation that is centred round a seagull called Kristoff, about his adventures at the Arnolfini and the docks! Unfortunately last week, we faced some difficulties when we found that half of our animation had just disappeared from the school macs...leaving us with only 14 seconds of our animation on the week they had to be finished by!! Was really quite a bummer! And poor Hannah was getting really stressed out! But despite this, we managed to turn it around and just accepted that it was gone, redid some of the scenes and finished it off! And I think it looks great, so I couldn't be more pleased! :)

Anyway, that's enough for now, GOODBYE!!!
