Cut out animation evaluation

This is my evaluation for my cut out animation, within me and my partners cut out animation what we did was cut out various characters or (things needed to make our animation) from magazines and together we just came with something funny. We didn't have a storyline which i thought to believe was bad cause a concept would make the story run more smoothly. So what we did was add random voices, and various sound effects to make something a bit different and unique from what everybody else was doing with their cut out animation. The software used to create our cut out animation was iStopMotion a software that takes pictures but can be used to create a cut out animation to create me and Jordan's idea. Personally i believe that iStopMotion made our animation very boring. This is my point of view only though, i don't know about my partner.

Evaluation of claymotion

Gumbasia

Gumbasia animation showed random shapes and sizes being expanded, rolling around, moving about and just being random, the shapes that are being produced are mostly, spheres, cubes, and other shapes.  My gumbasia was so different from the one that was shown to me, because it wasn't as constructed and planned as the gumbasia i saw. The gumbasia was so much more better than my one by far, all because the plan didn't go so well.

Aardman Animation 


Aardman animation is a british animation studio, known for stop motion clay animation. And making films also. Such as Wallace & Gromit, Flushed Away, and more...

Morph


Morph is an animated plasticine character that appeared with Tony Hart. I think that it was significant to the success of Aardman because Morph started Aardman and which made him famous, and soon evolving to - Wallace & Gromit. Chicken Run, and much more.

Strengths of clay animation


The strengths of clay animation are:


- Your able to make it into anything.
- Once cold it's also able to stay into shape that you want it.


What are the strengths and weaknesses from own experience? 

Strengths


- The clay got too a right temperature that it was able to move away about more easily.
- Also the clay was easy to make into anything that we needed as a group.

Weaknesses


- The one weakness of the clay is that it was getting soft when the room got hot.
- Another weakness is if the Morph ain't stable enough, it'l drop over.

The results I got from the questionnaire I sent around is good, it seems like everyone know what happen within the phone hacking itself, and everyone knows lots of information regarding certain facts basing itself around it. I actually love the results and I’m proud that the results are up to a good standard.
