Stop Motion Animation-After the Show (Assignment 3 of 3)

I think my animation went well, even though there are a few things that are in need of tweaking. 


From the feedback given on my David Bowie Animation, people have said they liked my animation. Also from the feedback I have been given ideas on how to improve. 


From the feedback given, I could improve my animation, by fitting the background better, and ensure that there isn't anyone in the background. And possibly try to make the mouth move to the lyrics. And also ensure the camera stays in the same place. 


I will try to make these improvements, as it could mean making the video again to make sure that the background fits, the camera is still and to make sure that no one is in the background. Also possibly make the mouth move. 

Stop Motion Animation-Finished Animation-How I Did It

The equipment I used to create my animation are:

- IStop Motion Camera

- Modeling Clay

- Wire

- Box

- Paper

The Software used to create my animation are:

- Garage Band

- IMovie

- IStop Motion

How I Made It 

I collected a range of research for my animation, which included any other David Bowie Animations that had been made, two videos of David Bowie - Life On Mars? and Modern Love, I collected images of his clothing her worn in the two videos and different hairstyles he has had and his different types of make up. I had also collected images of David Bowie Manikins. I had researched information on him to help towards my animation. I also researched the films he's been in and all of his albums. 

Using the Pictures I had collected I had created my model of David Bowie, which was of him when doing Life On Mars? I had also made a microphone. 

I had also Printed of a background of a stage which was taped to a box.

By using a IStop Motion Camera, I took pictures of each little movement which was used in IStop Motion.

After all the pictures were taken, I then used Imovie to add the start and end credits. 

After the start and end credits were added I then used garage band, to add the music in and to fade out the music. 

After added the music, I had finished creating my animation.
