Initial storyboards

These are my test taken form my initial layouts and final frames and designs for the animation in .They show step by step what i want to happen in the animation and give me feedback to see what i could improve or change now that i can see it on screen.

Below are only a few of my tests, the rest have been uploaded to my iweb.

What i wanted to get form testing my animation, is a feeling for the software and also how the frames would look when i put them together as the final animation. I think the final outcomes are pleasing and will work well as a final animation.

Interface design

For my iweb i need to look into researching how websites are designed and how they operate in terms of navigation. its not just as easy has sticking buttons on a page, each page needs to be designed with each link been though about. hopefully by taking some ideas through research i will be able to produce a nice, simple easy to navigate site.

Stop motion

Even before this brief i loved to watch and make mini stop frame animation just by using my camera but i hope to take a lot form looking at what and how people have done their animations and hope to take inspiration to put that into my animation.

Advert intros/idents

Averts intros or idents are a great way to view stop frame animation to animation form pencil to digital and audio creative masterpieces, they are short and sharp but do their job. e see them on tv everyday, up to 20 times a day but many take them for granted. I am hoping to take notes and ideas from researching what is currently and has been out there on tv.

E4 Stings

As this is an E4 based brief i think it would be silly not to research E4 idents. They are short and sweet but do the job, which is exactly what my animation has to do.

Wild west visual media

After researching the wild west i looked into wild west films and intros to see how the frames are set out and what the set designs look like.

The wild west

Even thought these are only basic western images it still gives me a starting point and vision of how i could make my design more relevant by making it a similar style.

Because Chuck Norris is known for his wild west theme and cowboy attitude i thought it would only be relevant to research the wild west.
