Stop-Motion Animation
The reason why I choose this technique was because I didn’t
have a lot of materials and I didn’t have anyone to help make the animation. So,
I have to come up with a concept for this animated piece that is simple and
ended up using coins and my hand for this entire short animation piece. I found
twp principles of animation in my piece and they are anticipation and slow in
and slow out.
Anticipation is also a principle that was highlighted in my
animation piece when the hand is about to hit the coin. Anticipation is when a
character is preparing an action so the audience an idea of what’s about to
happen next. When the hand makes a fist
and is raised up, it’s preparing an action; so, the audience knows that it will
try to smash the coin.
Slow in and Slow out was used whenever the coin moves fast. This
is referred to all movement starting slowly, builds up speed then finishes
slowly again. If the video was slowed
down, you will notice that the coin moves back before moving fast then slows
down again and moves back. This makes the coin move natural.
In conclusion, only two principals of animation were
highlighted in my piece and they were anticipation where the hand is raised and
slow in and slow out wherever the coin moves as it slowly backs up then moves
fast and finishes slow again.
