Flip Book Animation Exercise

My Sketch Book page about the animation ball activity:

Here was a diagram to help us to practice the flip book task. It shows a ball being dropped from a height and having flexibility in uts shape. So I created one myself using post it notes. I used the same template that the diagram shows.



I tired my own version of the ball falling on post it notes. Then when I flipped the pages the ball succesfully had motion.




Guideline of the balls movement direction.

In reflection this activity was inspiring and useful for to learn about as the it could be a idea for using this method of animation within the risk project.

In todays lesson we had to create a character and then draw them on paper each page by page (such as we tried an example with post it notes flipping the pages and making the motion of the ball. Here is my character above it is meant to be a female shadow who has scissors as her legs, the cloud above is meant to rain flowers (the puddle on the floor is evaporates then transports it self through time and rains again through the cloud, although it is raining flowers which cover the figure of the woman and strip her identity from shadow to.

I looked at these choice of titles and I selected the four corners title and selected the ocean blue background.

This is my completed animation Flip Book for the ball exercise, I was not going to take pictures of my flip

book then I decided I thought it would be an idea to show the process of making the flip book animation completed.

So I took the

Photos on photo booth and them imported them into a program called imovie which is very simple to create little projects on.

I then changed the colours of each little page with the ball moving

to create use of colour. Then I thought I would finish it of with a colourful title page at the beginning of the ocean.

What would I change: If I did the animation exercise again I would prefer to take the pictures with a camera than

photo booth as for it was difficult positioning the pages to the camera on my laptop and made the sequence

uneven with the ball darting all over the pages.
