Animation Homework #4

1. Sing Sang Song by Air Music video, created by Mathematic Studio. Animation follows a ball as it rolls through different morphing environments.

Studio Making of

2. This video seems to be mainly made in flash and after effects. The ball and items it interact with are part of a flash program, the moving backgrounds and rippling and twirling effects made in adobe after effects.

3. I choose this piece because it is such a delicate yet colorful and mesmerizing animation. Each frame has so many details put into it, and it seems effortless, like everything that was there belonged there. I would like to obtain this feeling of balance and unity, with complexity in my animated pieces. For my piece, I would like to imitate this feeling of flow

Project #1 Inspiration

After looking for some interesting stop motions, I found this featured video on youtube. It contains an interesting mix of stop motion animation and is actually very humorous. I enjoy how it incorporated the human body and a puppet, manipulating objects in way that aren't possible in other animation styles without special effects.
