Well i must say that when i first heard that we would be making an animation i thought well that will be easy…i was wrong. I did not realise that it would be as hard as it was! I realised that making up a story board was not as easy as it seems. Our original i dea was scrapped mainly, i think, because it would have been really difficult to make as it was really complex. Our new idea seemed fool proof apart from the fact that it took longer than expected. Making an animation does take a long time, we only made a minute long animation and it took for ever, i feel sorry for dreamworks. I completely forgot that 16 pictures was equal to only 1 second. Due to this our story board had to be amended. Keeping the camera at the same angle or position was another challenging issue for our group! Moving items and not remembering where they started or one minute they were in the shot then they were gone lol! All part of the fun i guess! In primary shools i would definitely give the children alot of time and support when creating their animation.
How did people find making their animation

Having done this before, we found that it was far easier the second time round as you knew what to expect, and the technology was more familiar. Depressingly, or not, children grasp an understanding of technology far faster than we do so hopefully you won’t be put off by your experiences! Otherwise great animation, I was shocked when the jelly baby was decapitated!!! x
