In today's lesson we animated our pea. Firstly we put the camera which we had taken pictures of the peas on into the computer. We opened the images up in photoshop and projected them onto the board. We drew around the shape of each one in black board pen onto the cardboard which we taped to the board. Then we each coloured one of them in in felt pens which took about an hour as the pens are so fine and we wanted to keep the colours the same, but the light green pens ran out of ink pretty quickly. We all completed the last frame which took a lot less time as we were all more focused and working quickly as we were running low on time. In the end we decided to make out pea appear to gt stabbed by a fork and say 'ow' at every loop.
When we had finished animating, we took our 5 frames out on location (we went into the art block in Coleridge) and set up the camera. We slowly moved them forward and took pictures, then we went back to the classroom and put them into istopmotion. To make the film longer we reversed it so that it repeats, the only problem with this is that it doesn't say 'ow' on the way back, and also it's running backwards into the fork which doesn't make sense.
This is our final pea animation:
