School Diary 03/12/09

Today me and Alex brainstormed some ideas. At first we wanted to animate the pea we animated on Friday, and make it last for longer and give it a scene like a plate. then we realised that the pea idea didn't really fit the brief idea of risk, so we drew the pea a few times and changed some parts of it, keeping the main shape as the circle. This is because we know how to use the bouncy ball effect if we need to and it's easier to use this on a circle shape.

Soon our pea evolved into a flying fish which will fly across a mountain, or some rocky land, and some trees and then finally fall off a cliff because it's going to fast. The message of this is about driving too fast on dangerous terrain, and the risk of an unexpected cliff edge.

So today me and Alex have been animating this figure on tracing paper- I've been drawing it and Alex has been colouring it in and going over with black pen. The most challenging part about today I think was making a tree fly past, while I had to keep the branches in the right places and also it took a longer time to draw each frame with a tree in it.
