In todays lesson, i watched a few youtube animations to get an idea of what type of animation i want to film. 

This is probably my favourite short animation that i’ve seen. In just less than 3 minutes a lifetime of a story was told. Stories like this are very common but I loved the way the person who made this added in voiceovers of a poem. The 2 different people talking (mum and daughter) added a nice touch to the whole animation and definitely helped with telling the story and making the story more appealing and enjoyable to watch.  I feel like for my animation I want to do something similar to this and I should maybe look for a few short poems to inspire me with a good idea. The way the animation was made is also something I would like to do. The paper cut-outs seem like they wouldn’t be too time consuming to do and I don’t have much time left to complete this task.

This video wasn’t as effective as the ‘’see you again’’ animation. The story was still alright but I felt like the voiceovers gave a better effect than just the slides with writing. But, this style can be used if you have no one to do the voiceovers or as a last minute thing rather than actually putting in effort to put the voiceovers together. The sound effects were one of the most effective things in this animation and I loved how everything moved smoothly.

This is a video I found about how to make a picture stop motion animation. I felt like it would help a lot because I want to do something similar to the ‘’see you again’’ clip and I was confused on how to do it at first but this is a much faster way of doing it rather than making 50 different cutouts of the same character but with different emotions.

I think that this animation looks cool but it didn’t appeal to me as much as other animations did because I personally like animations with a story behind them. I liked how the guy who made the stop motion put himself in it at one point.

Although this one didn’t really have an interesting story, I still enjoyed watching it and I thought it was interesting how she made it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=HsJEGO5JgbM it was very helpful how she made a behind the scenes video.
