As a group spent the next couple of sessions carrying on creating and cutting out assets and creating the characters for our animation we were creating - 'There was a Young Lady of Niger".
We finished of the main background which was a jungle setting where the tiger and the lady explore through, this consisted of trees, vines and other specimens of plants drawn onto a sheet of paper. we then cut the out and stuck the top and bottom of the paper to a green sheet of card so that we could place things behind it freely. We also had to make the setting for the inside of a stomach for when the lady gets eaten by the tiger, we created it in the same way as the jungle setting. We created a wave on green paper and cut it out so that it would represent rising acid levels inside of the stomach. We then cut out a circle and overlayed it onto some some red card which represent the inside of the stomach then glued it down except for the bottom part so we could then raise up the green waves we had created to engulf the woman inside.
To film the animation we used iStopmotion, after we had done this we would the export it to final cut. We added credits to the end of the animation using cut out letters which spelt out each of our names for a mess of letters, I thought this was a great idea as it had the same style and feel that the rest of the animation has. Scott did some voice overs for the animation so he sort of became the narrator for the project, he edited the sound track he had created so that it was in time with the speed of the animation and it worked out very well.
I am very pleased with how the project worked out as I had never done anything like it before so I enjoyed all of it. The team I worked with was great as we just got on with everything and there was no hassle involved. I think that the animation itself could of been a bit more smooth but it still looks great.
