3D Stop Motion

This project was a verrrrry long project, the longest I have done! Here's what we had to do..

We had to create a short animated film (no more than one minute) based on one of these themes - The Illusion, The Chase, The Experiment, Time or Relativity. 

We had to use 3D Stop Motion which involved using simple puppets and building sets and we could also include the use of any three dimensional objects manipulated in front of the camera.

So the first thing we did was pick out a couple of themes that interested us the most and research/find ideas for it as individuals to then come back together and discuss what we have and to chose a theme. This is what I found...

The Illusion 

- A distortion of the sense

- A distortion of reality

-Optical Illusions

- Auditory Illusions

-Tactile Illusion

- Visual Illusion (which is what we would aim for seeing as it is an animation)

Visual Illusion

Ventriloquist

Mime Artist

Magician

Optical illusion 

M.C.Escher's Ascending and Descending

"Visually perceived images that differ from objective reality"

Time

-Time Zones 

- Is a part of the measuring system used to sequence event, to compare the durations of events and the intervals

-Past, Present, Future

- Eternity

- History

- Futurology

- Spacetime

- Motion

- Space

- Event

- Continuum

- Time Travel

After a long discussion about what everyone had found out we decided to do the theme 'The Illusion'. We then each too some thing that we found and decided to do a rough drawing of a character for it. I chose the mime. I liked this idea and felt that we could do something quite simple but quite effect with it  and this is the character I came up with...

In the end the team decided on the magician, and so everyone again went about drawing quick rough ideas of what the magician should look like...
