The Moving Image
MAKE A WISH
My plan for this gif was to show a sense of depth and create a meaingful image tthat reflected a bit about me. I can always remeber running through the grass finding as many dandilions as possible to make as many wishes as i desired to blow away to come true. I wanted this gif to to show a sesne of the wished apon dandilion bowing away. This gif consists of 11 frames.

EEYORE
As a child I loved "Winnie The Pooh" and the "Teletubies" so I decided to make a gif that consisted of my favourite winnie the pooh character eeyore. I tried to make this gif show a sense of motion while sleeping. With every movement his belly rises as he breathes in and down when he beathes out. This gif consists of 4 frames.
STOP MOTION ANIMATION
This is my favourite out of the three here. I personally love this one beacuse its a little differents then the ordinary stop motion. I like how they use post it notes as there main material to make moving images. I also thinks its cool how they get the person in this video to interact with the images created with the post it notes.
I find this stop motion very interesting and creative. I personally like the story line and think how she made the moving characters is amazing. The detail and sound that was put into this video is quite incredible and is unique in its own way.
This video I think is quite cool, I like how it was created by drawings to create a quite interesting line of moving images. I like how they use there hands and interact with the drawn images, I belive it makes it look like the images are coming to life which gives the veiwer almost a different perspective of the video.
It was a beautiful snowy day while olaf was taking a stroll around the castle grounds skipping through the snow feeling happy as winter was favorite season, but he always wondered what it would be like to live in summer. As he skipped along he noticed a single flower that was sticking out of the shimmering snow and ran over to smell the gorgeous purple flower. Olaf slowly leant over and took as sniff, but as he did a tingle started to arise in his nose and he let out such a big sneeze his carrot nose popped right off his head and landed right in the middle of the frozen palace pond. He slowly started to walk towards the pond when he saw Sven started run towards the pond since carrots were his favorite treat. Olaf quickly started to run for his carrot nose with his arms in front as if trying to grab the carrot. Sven was coming quick and had just taken a quick step on the ice when Olaf realized Sven was having a hard time keeping his balance wobbling around and going no where closer to the carrot. Olaf saw Sven struggling and started to laugh pointing at Sven, but as he stepped onto the ice pond he realized it was slippery. He tried to run but the ice caused him to run in a spot and fall in a lump on the solid pond. Sven tried and tried to reach the carrot but both his feet slipped and crossed as he fell to his tummy. Olaf noticed that Sven wouldn’t stop trying to get the carrot so he took off one of his stick are and used it to pull him forward as he scootched on his bum, he kept on moving but realized that Sven was on the move sitting on his bum using his front hooves to pull him forward as he slid across the icy pond. Olaf panicked, jumped up and started to run towards the carrot only to fall once more in a lump on the ice covered pond. As Olaf looked up Sven had reached the carrot and had one end in his mouth he then jumped across the ice to reach the snow. Olaf was not ready to let his poor carrot nose go so he grabbed ahold of Sven and got pulled onto the bank of snow by the edge of the pond. Olaf quickly pulled himself together and looked up only to see Sven quickly suck the carrot whole into his mouth. Olaf started to cry as Sven then blew the carrot from his mouth putting it right back where it started. Olaf smiles from ear to ear and looks at his cute little carrot nose and opens his arms to give olaf a big hug.

Three tips to remember when making a stop motion video
-
Keep all lighting the same
-
Dont move the camera, take pictures in the same position (use tripod)
-
Create small movements with every picture to make movement smooth and gradual (10-12 frames per second)
What is stop motion animation?
Stop motion animation is a filming technique in which objects (such as clay models) are photographed in a series of slightly different positions so that the objects seem to move
