Animation Experiment | Graphic Design

I remember i did the stop motion animation when i was in a school trip, in Kingswood, an year 7 school trip (it was 3 days, i was a bit homesick). Now i wonder what it's really like working on much harder kind of animation.

So I did some researched firstly, on Animators, animation history and animation devices. Also I did experiment on storyboards, I tried with the Marmite advert with Paddington Bear. The animation on Paddington Bear I explored that it’s a stop frame animation, Paddington Bear is made like a teddy bear but smaller for animation sets, and the rest of background, characters (people), etc. are made of paper card. The background I saw that made perspective when I saw some layers of paper cards.

Next thing I did to explored the animation devices such as zoetrope, phenakistoscope and flipbook. Also I explored on the storyboard and practicing with Paddington Bear Marmite advert.


Then I started with my own storyboard idea for Live project animation, the subject on Live project is Equality and Diversity. The topic I decided for Equality and Diversity animation is disability with supporter in Tresham.

I did some experimenting some stop motion animations as well as using the animation software such as Adobe Flash. Here are some animations i've experimented.








The props idea, for my animation, I have is the background as in paper, with cut out shape of tree, fence and buildings, so and the background characters. The main characters, disability person and a supporter, are made in plasticine. The set techniques I used for shooting the animation are the product table and lighting.





The next blog i will show you my final animation.

The Monarch | Illustration

The Milkweed butterfly, also in another name of the Monarch butterfly, inspired me when I watched BBC's Spy in the Wild Series 2 in February. In episode 2 "The North", in this scene located the mountain in West Mexico, with the Spy Hummingbird capturing the place that's considered the world's most beautiful natural gathering, where the Monarch butterflies hibernated during the winter. It was Spring, the Spy hummingbird flying around millions of butterflies resting on the oyamel fir trees (I just looked it up of what kind of tree because I can't remember what it was, hehe). When the sunshine on them, warmed their delicate wings, then started to fly. And when they fly, it was absolutely spectacular, all orange and flow through the trees. I imagined myself in there, underneath them and watching them as they migrate to North. I felt calm and delight thinking about it, it was awe-inspiring. Being called the Milkweed butterfly is because they feed on ...

Bloom Wildly | Illustration

It's nearly the end of May, the weather for the last week of the month has been sun shining and over 22c of temperature, such lovely weather. So yesterday, I have been painting the dog rose flowers, that just blossomed nearly 2 weeks ago! Right now they're blooming quite wildly in my home garden and the front! This bush even grows over the tree, makes it so enchanting it's like in a magical summer garden. And with the wall, this can hang further that I can go underneath it for some shade. This one is new from the front as it hasn't grown there before, so it's the first time seeing this. And it's already climbing up the birch tree! It looks nice to look at through the window, where I work on some arts, plus good for some inspirations to illustrate! Whilst I was painting, I did another timelapse video on this. Seems I find the time-lapse illustrating very fascinating and satisfying, you can see the process in fast speed, rather than the normal speed that'll t...
