Animation

Wallace and Gromit and The Curse of The Were - Rabbit



From this video you can see how they animate clay,wire, metal, stuffed toys to look as if they are moving, talking ect. Apart from physically making the models in which will be added in the film, the producers and creators then have to use technology to give the models facial expressions, motion  and even voices. After this the creators hen have to remove themselves from e clip e.g. remove their hands from moving the model in some occasions. However the crew of Wallace and Gromit use the advanced technology mostly to create the film e.g. instead of them moving characters by hand, they will create a robot to move under their control.




Morph Animation



This cartoon shows early stages of how clay animation was done. In this scenario the creators mostly used themselves and didn't rely on much technology apart from filming and voices. The creators mostly used their hands to give the effect of the characters motion e.g. Morph making the jelly. From animations like this people later decide to improve the style of animation meaning people then used more technical appliances i order to create a more realistic animation.





Norman - The Movie



This clip shows how The film Norman was made e.g. how the model of Norman was designed, and then how he was added to the film a long with other character models. In addition, unlike Morph, much more technology was used as the film is fairly new (2012) From this the technology used makes the animated film look more realistic and attracting.





Shaun The Sheep



This video shows how the cartoon Shaun the Sheep is made, It shows you step by step how they build up to completing the final project e.g. they gather images of farms ct., they create a story line comic, book style, they draw the characters, and then they make them from clay and use the technology to give the models motion, as well as physically giving the models motion o e.g. move the models with their hands.


Shrek



Shrek is well known for how animation is used, Likewise Norman, the models are created b hand and then advanced technology brings them to life. The sculptures built to then manipulate with technical  techniques are told to be made with clay, plaster and in some cases metal and wire.
