Stop Motion with Geometric shapes with Dragon Frame Software
Working with abstract shapes like triangles, circles, rectangular. I was the first one to start with. I chose a rectangular, crumbled it in different sizes and transformed it to circle . we are asked to consider at least one of the principles of animation. I learnt about transformation and replacement and metamorphosis movements. capturing sequences by Dragon Frame software, using onion skin, camera adjustment, lighting, reversing frames, using loop and exporting.
Abstract Stop Motion with paper Replacement, Displacement, Metamorphosis
We were a group of 5, each of us has done a 5 min animation with any kind of paper. it should be 24 frames per second on twos. each group chose their own sounds from a choice of 4.
Reflection
I was using a large piece of paper but as we needed to connect our piece to the next person, I made my works smaller to transition smoothly. I learned how to work with dragon frame Software, add sound, export files. My effort was to learn replacement, displacement, metamorphosis style. This time I spend more time to consider animation principles, spacing, timing, eye trace, appealing, explore movements. For future I like to gather together all I have learn in this rotation like mix media and create something more appealing.
Review & feedback
After watching our animation in the class and getting feedbacks we realised that our team communication was poor and also learning a lot by seeing other groups works.
