Tuesday 19th March

Today we did not have a Ted test nor did we do a small basic challenge but instead John put us into pairs (I was with Jake) to make a mini about 20 second or so long in 15 minutes. Do our advert John let us all use our choice of chocolate from his shopping bag. To create the advert we had to use Zu3D to create a stop motion animation using a webcam. the idea me and Jake came up with without any planning what so ever was... Jake would rip open the Milky Way and shove it all in his mouth and chew it for a while then lean toward the webcam, take his glasses off and wink at the webcam. Not to forget the amazing palm tree in the background, all thanks to Catherine! The music we decided on was some slow music from Barry white (Cant get enough of your love, babe) which fitted into our mini advert very, very well and went down a treat when showing everyone in the class.
I think by far ours was the best and no one could deny that! the animation was judge by everyone in the class and they would rate it out of ten. There was some very funny adverts from the rest of the class but I think in the end Scott and Rob won the mini advert challenge.

Once all that was over I started on creating all my characters for my animation. bearing in mind I have never used flash before and I have never created and animation either, my characters turned out better than I thought they would, which is very good but now I have the trouble of changing the body positions but I will try and get over that hurdle when I come to it. this was a long ole process as I had to figure out how to use flash but I think I got there in the end, still not 100% confident with flash but as time goes on, i will get used to it and know my way around the programme.

Overall I found today enjoyable as I got to use a new programme and got to create my characters so all I need to do now is create my animation
