A2 mythBusters

By using what lesson learnt from the first demonstration, I can apply this technique to a sequence from a television series in an effective way I have been able to recreate the scene into an animated sequence.

This piece was created the intention of telling a story successfully through animation, however the feedback received lead me to believe the necessary changes would need to be made when telling a story some peers felt that the body language wasn’t clear enough in some parts of the short clip meaning the messages weren’t being clearly transported as I initially believed.

Story telling becomes restricted by unclear poses however this experiment has taught me that by making each pose much clearer to a viewer

Pose express narrative.

Spell it out- by making all actions clear to the audient the piece wilol be better understood

First 15 seconds

Structuring the shape the character creates to more photographic positions each image can be read clearly to avoid confusion into the characters movements or mind frame.

Pose each position with the camera and audience in mind.

Slow movements down giving the character thinking time indicated with head tilts etc…

Use minimal camera angles, in the true scene there were multiple camera angles used however in an animation I’ve found that by limiting that amount of camera changes the audience can enjoy the piece a lot more with less changes. (This is just another difference between working with clips of a realistic nature to working with animated clips.)

The group comments indicated the second half of the piece was of greater believability mainly because it has structure through sound however the first half did not have this meaning the movements became unclear….. to understand this better
