Cut out Animation

In this lesson I and a few of others in my team managed to make a stop motion animation. It wasn't the best but we was very proud of it. We used cut out animation as in cutting out materials to make it look like scene we wanted. We used paper, card, tissue paper, blue tack. We made the blue tissue paper the clouds and we made the brown cards birds flying together. As they reached each other we made them look like they was about to kiss and love hearts appeared which made it so cute.

What we need to improve? 

When importing the images we took we realised they was videos instead so we couldn't edit them how we wanted. We wasn't able to put it in an editing software and edit it as it just didn't come together well enough. 

I think next time we should take a little longer to actually think of a good idea and make sure we know how the camera settings work because we obviously didn't know. 

 What is stop motion animation? 

Stop motion animation is basically many images put together showing a motion. Frame by frame. When a photo is taken, the object for example moves just a little, then again photo gets taken ... on repeat till it makes a mini animation when the images are edited together. It's like 100+ photos are put next to each other to make it a moving animation, making it look like its changing etc.

I like this animation because I feel that its been done so professionally, it looks amazing the way its done. It does look like its made out of paper but at the same time it does look like a dog, its so smooth and doesn't have any awkward jumps which makes it look more professional.
