My First Animation
 

I'm currently studying my first of a two year media production course at college. I have already created many things from Radio Plays and interviews to photography and film trailers.

For the past month I have been working on a stop-motion animation that had to be 10 seconds or longer and based around a proverb.

I decided to base mine on a short wrestling match, using my old wrestling figures and armed with a pentax SLR camera, I went about taking a picture then moving the figures. It was basically rinse and repeat until you've finished, I ended up with a 148 frames, all of which I decided to rotoscope (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotoscope) individually.

Another element that we had to include was the proverb being spoken by way of lip sync, which I had to individually animate each mouth movement pertaining to the actual sound of a letter.

This will be my submitted work tomorrow.
