Recently, we as a class were assigned to make a stop motion animation video, we were put into groups of three and we went from there. at the very begging of the project we kinda slacked of not knowing what to do, so we were talking about celebrities which then gave us the idea to use celebrities in our video. The characters we used were Will Smith, Eminem, Gerard Buttler, and Rihanna they were based on certain people, Will Smith and Gerard Buttler was My super epic blog for cyberarts,
Rihanna was based on Martin's Blog, and Eminem was based on Happy Madison (Me). As a group we made the decision to use a gym as our scene and we hand drew the scene and characters and started to shoot. When we made the video using iMovie HD and we used sound, the sound was called Three Pointer, and we just doubled it.

Moma art
Title: Untitled 8-19
Department: Painting and sculpture
classification: Painting
Medium: Oil on linen on panel
Dimensions: 22 x 28" (55.9 x 71.1cm)
Date: 2001
This painting attracts me because it looks outstanding in my opinion, and it's in my ally of style, random, crazy, and amazing, i like this piece because the colour, the red on the blue background makes this odd shape pop. i find this piece interesting because what ever this object is, it looks like its exploding, which is amazing, in my opinion, others might look at this and find boring, meaning less, and stupid.
Title: Blossom
Department: Panting and sculpture
Classification: Installation
Medium: Synthetic Velvet Fabric Dye
Dimensions: Approximately 18' (548.6cm) in diameter
Date: 2000
Artist: Mark Grotjahn
Title: Untitled (Blue painting light to Dark VII)
Department: Painting and sculptures
Classification: Painting
Medium: Oil on Linen
Dimensions: 60 x 50" (152.4 x 127cm)
Date: 2006
This picture attracts me because i wonder what materials this artist used to get these affects, for example the scratch marks, did he use chalk on black construction paper? or are they actual scratch marks?
This picture interests me because if you look at the middle top half of the page,in between the scratches, it kinda looks like a head, and if you look from there straight down it looks like a faded person(body).

Squash and stretch
1. SQUASH AND STRTECH
squash and stretch is used with "moving pictures" it makes moving objects look highly realistic, for example a bouncing ball, if you have a regular ball moving in a circular motion it doesnt look natural, but when you use the principle squash and stretch it looks like and actual ball being bounced off walls. All it does is squishes the animated figure and stretchs it.
2. ANTICIPATION
Anticipation is when your expecting something to happen or your preparing for an action to come about.
1.The preperation for the action
2.the action
3.the termination of the action.
3. STAGING
Staging is when you can tell a characters emotion, reations or what they are doing, and it should all relate to its story, camera shots can help with that as well, for example if you were to do a close up shot it could relate to an emotion such as sad or lonely or something like that. and you dont want to use too many actions in one shot, you might confuse your audience.
4. STRAIGHT AHEAD AND POSE TO POSE ANIMATION
straight ahead animation starts with the first drawing all the way through to your last. using this method you can lose size, volume and proportions but they are also controlled better this way, and fast wild actions can occur using this principle.

Page Layout / Optical Devices
Page layout :
In my opinion the site, the layout page of the site, seems too clutterd for me, if the just spread they're stuff out and added alot more pages it wouldnt be so bad.
Optical devices: LINK:http://courses.ncssm.edu/gallery/collections/toys/html/exhibit07.htm
This image is called the phenakistoscope.
HOW IT WORKS:
The phenakistoscope uses the persistence of motion principle to create an illusion of motion. Although this principle had been recognized by the Greek mathematician Euclid and later in experiments by Newton, it was not until 1829 that this principle became firmly established by Joseph Plateau.
WHAT I FIND INTERESTING:
I find it interesting that the phenakistoscope is just a small circle piece of paper that has little drawings on it that create a little short clip, i just think of it as film, and the very first film to be created was in 1878, that film was known as "The horse in motion" when you watch it it looks just like a stop motion animation video, so inspirational.
THE HISTORY OF ITS ANIMATION:
In 1832, Belgian physicist Joseph Plateau and his sons introduced the phenakistoscope ("spindle viewer"). It was also invented independently in the same year by Simon von Stampfer of Vienna, Austria, who called his invention a stroboscope. Plateau's inspiration had come primarily from the work of Michael Faraday and Peter Mark Roget (the compiler of Roget's Thesaurus). Faraday had invented a device he called "Michael Faraday's Wheel," that consisted of two discs that spun in opposite directions from each other. From this, Plateau took another step, adapting Faraday's wheel into a toy he later named the phenakistoscope.
This is all important because from what i understood they all got they're ideas from one another and they were all inspired by one another which meant more inventions to come, that is why i find it important.

HOW TO
HOW TO: Make a stop motion animation using a drawing
This video is a stop motion animation of a knight using a cut out drawing.
This stop motion animation took approximately 90 minutes to make, and 115 pictures were taken just to make a 28 sec. video.
At the beginning it looks like its on paper as if he drew it there but the maker drew it, cut it out, and put it on the paper. During the video, the creator begins to move the knight across the page, he simply just takes a piece of the knight, moves it a bit and takes a picture and continues to do the same procedure again.
when the creator took the pictures he used a tripod for a steady/balanced picture, the man didn't move the camera because he needed to have a stable image, and all he wanted to move was the cut out drawing. now don't get confused because the man has two camera in this video, one to take this video for his tutorial and the other for his stop motion animation.
This video is very useful because he explains how this procedure works, by taking pictures, moving objects, and talking to help the viewers understand what he is doing, which is making a stop motion animation video.
