Week 14 - The Healthy Alternative

5-A-Day and lot's of fresh air.

The sun was out, so we went to the outdoor classroom to record the pupil reactions to the Teacher Comfort answers. Without giving too much away, the pupils were a little more healthy in their advise for eating and exercise. Just as we finished our few short clips it started to rain. So we came in, dried the camera and spent 30 minutes touching up our storyboards. Next week, more animating. AD

Week 13 - Frame by Frame

This week we settled down immediately into some animation. Using Stop Motion Pro and web cams we captured as many frames as we could of our Teacher Comfort clay characters, taking care to keep them on a blue background and avoid moving the model or the camera between shots. After an hour, some of our sequences were as long as 45 seconds (Wow!) This part of animating needs real patience and care, we all did very well. Before we finished we reviewed the sequences we had created and tidied away. AD
