Music Videos

They are also used to promote the band/artist as if the music video is visually very good people will be talking about it which will make other people want to watch it, in the end it's the band/artist who gains out of it as it is getting them money.A good example of a recent animated music video is called Monophobia by Deadmau5, it has no story line to it but it has a lot of animation it. Because it is so random a lot of people will find it entertaining and want to watch it.

Advertising
Advertising is a great way to inform and educate as it can provide important detail informing you about something like health as well as educating you about the same topic. It can tell you about a lot of things like the benefits of doing things or what you can do about something. Animated adverts are a great way to gain the attention of the audience which will make them more interested in the advert. This would end up in the people who are watching actually gaining something from the advert as they take it in easier as they are more interested in the advert. A great example of a stop-motion animation advert that is able to gain the audiences attention is the Innocent smoothie advert that is advertising a new kind of smoothie.

Computer Games
Computer games have a main focus of entertaining as they usually don't provide any informative or educational aspects of them. Almost all computer games began as stop-motion animation. Some big examples of stop-motion animation computer games are snake or tetris which are still very big games that are still played no for entertaining purposes.

He was inspired by the cinematic effects that were used in King Kong and The Lost world. After seeing these two films he began experimenting with Stop-Motion animation in his parent’s garage. At the age of 18 he met with Willis O’Brien who he later worked with on many future projects. His first animation job was with producer George Pal where he worked on the short films “Puppetoons” which was stop-motion. He then caught the attention of Charles Schneer a producer who he worked with on the majority of films. This means that Ray was important in the development of stop-motion animation as he worked on it almost his whole life and made many big animated films. Rays techniques link to the techniques used in the modern day as Ray experimented to find useful stop-motion techniques which...

Assignment 1 - (Techniques and Formats)

Task – 2 Time-Lapse Time-lapse is where the frequency of the images is captured much lower than what is used to view the sequence.   This technique is stop motion as the pictures are repeatedly taken so there is very minimal movement between each frames and then they are played on a very high frames per second so there is the illusion of movement. A good example of a time-lapse is this  kidney bean  plant growing over the course of many days. Claymation Claymation is a form of stop-motion animation that uses clay made characters or backgrounds. This is great for stop-motion as they can be easily manipulated and can be made to do almost any action possible as the clay that is used to make it all is extremely malleable. Potentially the biggest claymation that there is out there is Wallace and Gromit. Wallace and Gromit has been the biggest stop-motion ever made as of the amount of views it has received and to think that it was made entirely out of clay is proba...
