Lens Based Media- Task 1

Our first project was to create an animation in one day based on the character: "Tony the Superhero." We had to animate this to "The Pixies- Tony's Theme"

We were allocated our groups, and decided to base it around the superhero Turtle Neck Tony. 

The story we decided on was that his turtle neck gave him super powers, and his neck grew as he travelled around people's houses. 

We thought out the story line carefully, and came up with scenarios that could happen in our animation. We decided he would travel through people's bathrooms and bedrooms. 

 We then allocated each team member a part to do. We all created one background, and Elliot and Schiel focused on drawing the characters.  

I drew the bathroom scene, and Schiel created this character. 

We decided to keep the drawings very minimalistic as we only had a short time period, and we tried to focus more on filming the animation and adding quirky details. 

This was another one of the characters that featured in our animation. We made the arms and body parts move. 

I really enjoyed this project, and seeing everything come to life. We used stop motion animation, and would take a picture, then move it, then take another. When it was all edited together it looked really good, and the music really brought it to life.
