Alien Head

This was a short Animation that Me and Lewis Raywood made and we did this by using cutting out peaces of a newspaper and getting a alien head with a human body, we added a title and credits to our short animation using iMovie whilst editing some of the clips together.

We had to create new project and import our short animation, then we had to put the clips in and add titles and credits whilst choosing from a variety of backgrounds and fonts. There was a variety of fonts and sizes to choose from, there was different effects within the texts that would be showed either in your titles or credits, with the backgrounds on the opening titles and credits you could change the colour of the background or the style of it.

When you create a new project it will come up looking something like this, you can choose from any one of these themes and edit them yourself. There is different types of themes going to something colourful or dark, you can get something thats based from movies up to a blank colour. You will need to rename the project to something suitable thats associated with the video.

Short Animation

Today we have made a cutout animation which was 5 Seconds long, using parts we cut out from newspapers. Me and lewis both worked together making this animation and we did this by using iStopMotion 3. We cut out an alien head from an advert and a mans suit. We have made him move to the side with his body moving up and down and then making him go down and off the screen and then re appear at the top of the screen, but upside down and then hiding again. I think that this animation went well because it didn't take that long to do it, we had enough time to get prepared and the parts we wanted. I enjoyed doing this because it was only a little taster of creating a animation sequence which was only 5 seconds long, i think that this went well in the amount of time we had.
