Week 5- Animation and Movie Making

Today we created various animations and movies on different websites. Some of what I created appears below:

1. Sketch Swap

Using the website http://www.sketchswap.com/ I created the picture below and selected swap sketch. My picture was then sent to someone else somewhere in the world and I received a picture from another sketcher. The sketch I received was of Mr and Mrs Brown and their now house. Mr and Mrs Brown were very cross because they're extremely tall and their new house was built too small for them.

2. Build your wildself

Using the website www.buildyourwildself.com/ I was able to create an image of a wild person. It was fantastic how you could choose every aspect of "your wildself", from eyebrow shape to whether or not you had wings. My "wildself" appears below. This website was lots of fun and really allowed me to be creative.

3. Mini-Mizer

Using the website: http://www.reasonablyclever.com/mini/kidsafe.htm I created a lego character of myself. This was also a lot of fun. My "plastic" image appears below.

4. Xtranormal

I used the website http://www.xtranormal.com/ to make a movie. I was able to choose the number of actors, design the scene and write the script. A snapshot of my movie appears below. I enjoyed doing this and found it quite challenging.

5. Zimmer Twins

The website http://www.zimmertwins.com.au/ was another site that you could use to make movies. Making movies on this site was a little more challenging than Xtranormal. I felt I really had to think about the script and make sure the scenes made sense and followed on from each other. I'm not sure my movie did make much sense in the end but it was a great learning experience and really good fun. Two scenes from my movie appear below.

6. Dvolver

I created another movie using the website http://www.dvolver.com/live/home.html and my particular movie can be viewed here: http://www.dvolver.com/live/movies-257396 This website was fun to play around with and definitely not suitable for children. Having watched my movie back I probably should have added some more to the script. The characters mouths are moving far too much compared to what they are saying but not too bad for my first try!
