After making the character i wanted to try out the movements i could do with him. I therefore incorperated a ball aswell as then i could move his hands and eyes to interreact with it (haven't mastered the ball bounce yet tho):

I have decided to look at character development and seen as i have already made alien type things i have decided to stick with that theme. Here is what i created the other morning:

I then added arms:

Animating..

Yesterday i started animating with plastercine :D

I did 4 yesterday, starting very simple with basic movement like rolling and squashing and moving on to adding in different colours and shapes and finally adding in characters.

First Video- Orange plastercine just looking at simple movement

Second Video- Red plastercine just looking at simple movement

Third Video- Red and blue plastercine, looking at 2 colours and transformation

Fourth Video- Characters (Aliens)

Another really amazing animation using clay. This is the sort of thing i want to do just to try animating (obviously won't be anyway near as good as this).

Cool little animation i found on youtube:

Major Project

For my major project i wanted to do something that would relate to little models as i really enjoy making these.. Designing a set for a theatre production of a fairy tale in a miniature model version was a first idea, which i quickly went off and decided to do a stop animation for tv.. not sure about this part yet whether it should be an ad or just a short animation like creature comforts.. or pingu or wallace n gromit hmmmmmm...
