Time lapse video




  • What were your ideas for the animation? How did you come up with the ideas? After doing a series of quick 5 minute drawings of a item of food (cereal box) i chose my most favourable one to do on a larger scale in a pen form to be taken capture in a time lapse.
  • Were your ideas effective for your food item? Did the concept work?
  • The ideas were quite simple as if i was going to go in to detail it would take too long as id get into it too much.
  • How could you improve on your animation? i think that personally i would have chosen a different materials because i prefer pen/pencil so i would have liked to have challenged myself.
What techniques did you use? we used the same application as the previous video on the apple iPads this time we used the time lapse option also we had to do it in a location with not a lot of distraction
i enjoyed this as I've seen the same affects on television and artists on youtube aswell , however i did find it hard as you had to pace yourself when you work because you don't want to take too long for the person holding the camera. i would like to do this again.

Stop Motion Ipad App


Using a ipad motion application we created these two videos





  • What were your ideas for the animation? How did you come up with the ideas?
  • After we were given the food item of an egg we did a quick mind map sheet and began thinking of ideas for the content of our film. 
  • Were your ideas effective for your food item? Did the concept work? The ideas we had were appropriate and fitting to our item as everyone knows that eggs crack easily so we used this in our advantage by creating a character and scenario.
  • How could you improve on your animation? We could improve our animation by adding attention to detail on certain areas as some parts do have some mistakes so if we could fix them.

    • What techniques did you use? we used stop motion which is a process where you manually take pictures of small bits of movement and it creates a movement when put together in a video
    • What materials and equipment did you use? we used an iPad , an egg and paper
    • Did you enjoy using these techniques? it was fun especially placing and working out what goes where
    • Did you find them hard / difficult to work with? The concept was quite easy however you had to be careful when you move the objects.
    • In the future i would maybe like to do this again for a bit of fun.
