Animation Photographs

These photos are the photos I took of the layout of our jellybean animation We laid out pieces of paper and all the jellybeans on the table. I set up the tripod so the camera was above the paper so it was positioned perfectly so the photos all came out the same distance and alignment . This will benefit as it will make the editing process much smoother. Also, I took some example images which are upside down to show exactly how the images that were taken came out.

Today we planned on trying out the setups for our model catwalk scene today but then we realised we would have to do this after school as there are lessons going on in the places we want to shoot and setup. Instead, I decided to plan out catwalk designs for how we want to set it up so when it came to filming we knew roughly how the layout would look. This would save us time so we can film it much quicker I decided that it would be better to have a basic layout but one that looks professional. I think design 3 or 4 would look best as there is a little platform bit on the end where the boys can take advantage of their moment. Also I have left space around the edge, the shading is the area I have left for seating and a judging panel, I think the judging panel should be to the side of the catwalk as you normally see the celebrities and important people at the side of a catwalk.

Template texts.

These are the fonts that i have shortlisted to look at after finding them all, I'm looking to use one of these fonts as the text on the track list for each of the song names. All of the fonts I have chosen are quite similar but I like them as they are quite characterised and would fit onto my digipak.  I think I will choose the bottom one as its in between, it's not too plain but not too out there.

Jelly Bean Art

I looked around the internet for examples of jelly bean art to portray the ideas of what we want to do for our logo and make an animation, after finding the music video made we were inspired to make an animation from jelly beans and I found it quite interesting how you can use jelly beans to make nearly any kind of image. The most popular jelly bean art I have found is image of famous people however, I am quite excited to start experimenting with how we can make our animation look. We have recently ordered the jelly beans so we are currently waiting for them to arrive, when they arrive we shall begin to experiment. We have already put this into our filming and work schedule.

In the double lesson today I chose to go onto the mac computers straight away and try and complete my design for my digipak as I want to begin to create it on the computer soon. I've decided that for the front cover I would like to take my own photo of the sunglasses and have lighting shining behind it to give a greater effect.
