Inspiration Animations

For homework in media we needed to find examples of different animations to help us find inspiration for our assignment this term.

In Your Arms - Kina Granis
One animation I came across which I thought looked really cool and looked like a lot of hard work had been put into it. It is a stop motion video, that uses jelly beans as the background. The jelly beans give the video a unique touch to the video making it look a lot more interesting. I am thinking of using stop motion in my assignment. I think that this a very difficult animation for me to recreate, as I don't have the tools. I think I will be able to simplify it, by maybe using lollies to use as people and make a scene using lollies.

Here's the making of it:

Deadline - Post it Notes
This another stop motion video that has a unique idea to it. I has a man on his computer with post-it notes up above showing the different things he's doing. I think I am able to do this idea as I do have the skills. I don't think I'd have a lot of time to make a stop motion as good as this, but maybe to use post it notes to make different objects.

Paper Motion - Melissa Garrk
This animation was another stop motion, but instead of using people in the video, they used paper. This is a student film, so it wasn't done professionally. This video did have a great storyline, which did make it a great animation. I know a lot of planning had gone into this video, I especially liked the part when the boy jumps to the rip in the paper to grab the post it notes, to get the flower. I think I can re-do this stop motion, as a student made it. I do have the same skills as her, so I would be able to make on similar.
