LAUAN403- Straight Ahead and Pose to Pose

Straight ahead and Pose to Pose 

Straight ahead is- 'The linear production of each frame of an action.. 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 etc.' (http://estudio.leeds-art.ac.uk/mod/page/view.php?id=11528).

Pose to Pose is- 'Where the frames for key poses of an action are produced before the in-between frames are calculated and drawn. (http://estudio.leeds-art.ac.uk/mod/page/view.php?id=11528)

For the straight ahead approach we had to create a animation with plasticine that had to morph from one shape to another shape. I chose to morph a cupcake to make it look like it is melting into the blob. 

Postive:

• The morph from the ice-cream into the blob was smooth. 
• The colours were bright and eye-catching. 

Could be better if:

• I take into account the shadows that I could be casting over the stage. 
• To add a few more frames at the end so it does not stop so suddenly. 

For the Pose to Pose morph I decided to base it on the same storyline however, this animation was paper-cut out. 

Positives:

• I was able to give the cupcake a personality as I found it easier to add a face onto the paper-cut outs rather than on the plasticine. 
• Learning from the plasticine animation, I made sure no shadows cast over any of the images. 

Even better if:

• I thought of a new storyline and morph for the second animation.
• Might have been more eye-catching if I created a background as it was a little plain behind the cupcake.
