Brainstorming and Planning

As a start to our new project this year, we've watched several different animations on how they use sound, music, and picture.


An animation depends on how a creator considers animation. This means they can choose between a Stop-Motion video, a digital video, or a core animation using software we are unaware of right now.


As well, a good animation can balance between different elements of design, such as colour, space, value, size, etc.




As roles, we have a table of who is in charge of what:

Tom: Editing and compiling the images/making a Making Of video
Norman: Group Leader/Modeler
Ben: Cinematographer/Sound



Currently we are considering if we want to digitally make an animation, or make a stop motion animation.




design brief


To design and construct a stop motion animation which visually communicates your


understanding of the elements and principles of design. It must be entertaining, engaging and


leave the viewer with an understanding of the elements. You must consider conventions


appropriate to the medium of stop motion such as; light, cinematography, sound and fluidity.


You must also provide evidence of how the project progresses from conception through to


post-production. This may be presented as a ‘making of’ in documentary style.
