Assignment 1 - (Techniques and Formats)


Task – 2

Time-Lapse
Image result for time lapse gifTime-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
Image result for wallace and gromit gifClaymation 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 probably the biggest achievement.

Pixelation
Image result for human stop motion gifPixelation is basically the same as claymation as it is still a form of stop-motion animation except you are not only using characters made out of clay you are actually using a real human body part who is slightly moving between each images this can be your hands to your eyes. A prime example of this is Peter Gabriel's music video to his song Sledgehammer. This is Pixelation as it includes Peter Gabriel's body in the stop-motion animation.

Task 1 – Developers Ray Harryhausen Ray Harryhausen was born in Los Angeles and grew up with a love for dinosaurs and fantasy, his parents later on encouraged his interest in films and model making. 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...
