Animation 1 - Wk 7 - My own Animated Piece


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.
