You could ask your pupils to research and sketch some images of their favourite animated characters, exploring what the drawing (or model) of the characters tells us about their personality.ĭiscuss how animators use clothes, facial expressions and body language to show how a character is feeling and to convey a personality.Īsk pupils to have a look at the options of everyday objects available to them and discuss the personality traits they would attribute to the items and why. a narrative or story and characters), making links to literacy knowledge. Naomi: You can write a poem, design a chair or even write a script for your favourite show.Īsk pupils to reflect on animations that they have seen and how they think animations are usually created.ĭiscuss what elements an animation usually has in it (i.e.
Naomi: If you enjoyed this challenge there are loads more over on the BBC Teach website. Naomi: Right, should we do another scene or should we pick a new object?
Naomi: Right, now its over to you! Get creating! Naomi: Aw, poor old Jeffrey! Pleased with that? Naomi: Remember, you will need to take lots of photographs and make really tiny movement between each picture. Naomi: You can choose any object you like, just whatever you have lying around that sparks your imagination! Naomi: OK, pass the tablet! Fingers crossed! Naomi: Jeffrey the baby giraffe trips over that big marble. Gabriella: And then he trips over that big marble. Naomi: I like that idea a lot, so we could have chopstick giraffe with cotton wool ball face! Piya: I think we should use a cotton wool ball for the heads. Naomi: So Jeffrey is a little baby giraffe! I think we can make this into a mummy giraffe, and then this can be Jeffrey! Naomi: First things first we need to decide what object we are going to use, so we've got a selection on the table, which would you like to use? Naomi: Some sticking and fixing things to hold your objects in place, a tablet with a stop-motion app and tripod. Naomi: Good, lets get creative! You will need. Naomi: Right you three, are you ready to get started with our animation? Naomi: And this is Anushka, and she has a magic eye for colour and style. Naomi: Next up its Gabriella who has some amazing jazz skills! Naomi: This is Piya, and her creative superpower is reading, because knowledge is power! Naomi: Aw I love this challenge! So who’s going to be helping me on this one then? Be playful, enjoy yourself and get creative. Nush: Just remember to use sound to bring out the personalities and the characters. Nush: So your challenge is to create a 30 second stop-motion animation using everyday objects you can find around your home or your school classroom. Nush: but when we put the two together and put a munching noise we then know that the character, the dog, is munching and eating the food. We've created a character and we've given it an action, Nush: Another thing to remember that's very important when animating is sound. If I do this action and I animate it so that the tissue slowly disappears while its munching on it, it will give the illusion that the peg or the dog is eating the tissue. Nush: So I'm thinking this dog wants to find something to eat. Nush: But then I'm thinking I need to make this into a thinking character because its only when you make it into a thinking character that you really bring out a personality. Nush: So lets say this peg- I'm thinking that its going to be a dog because it can move like this. Nush: What I first want to do is look at all the things I can move. Nush: But my favourite things to animate are everyday objects, giving them character and personality. Nush: There are a range of stop-motion animation techniques ranging from animating characters or models or even working with paint or drawings. Naomi: Nush is a BAFTA winning animation director. Naomi: It’s cool isn’t it? Right well I’m not just here to see the incredible things that these guys have done, I want to have a go at creating my own animation, and I know the perfect person to give us some tips! Naomi: Then all those photos are pasted together by editors so that when you play them all back it becomes an animation that tells a story. Naomi: Stop-motion animation is when you take an object or a model like these and move them a tiny amount at a time - so I'm going to make this little mouse wave, so you would capture each movement with a photo.
Naomi: This studio is amazing – the team use their creativity to make models and produce stop-motion animations for a whole range of films and adverts. Naomi: Well that was strange! Anyway, I’m here at this animation studio to set you a challenge. Naomi: This isn’t right – I feel a bit peculiar!
