Animation

For this project I was to create a short animation to go with a song of my choice. It could relate this to the lyrics of the song, or I could create my own story...
We looked at many different types of animation including:
. Paper
. Photo Stop Motion
. Collage
. Clay
. Sand
. Hand Drawn
. etc...
We also had to create our own techniques related to one of the above. I chose hand drawn, but instead of drawing on paper or a chalk board, my painting would be on a window. I like to call this Window Animation.
The idea was to paint or draw onto the window whilst keeping in mind and relating to, what you can see through the window. For my window animation I created a short story about a UFO flying past, it lands on a building that I could see thought the window, flies back off again and tree grown in its place and the sun starts to shine. This was to represent how we may need more help in the future to keep our planet a safe and healthy place if we don't look after it now.

Here is my window animation....

After exploring all of the different techniques I found I really enjoyed making Paper, Photo Stop Motion and Clay animations.
Here are my experiments with the above three...

Through the corridors, Through the Street

Things???

After all my experiments were complete I decided to make a clay animation for my final piece. This is because I love it's 'charming' and 'child-like' look. I selected my song and created a narrative to follow. I decided to take one or two lines out of the song and create my story around that.
Here is my final piece for Animation...
