Back To The Blog

Alot has happened since I last added to my blog.
from the obesity topic I descided to experiement with some animation. i had'nt tried this out before and thought it would be a great opportunity to try it. I descided to look into eating food. Eating food is good for the body but when it is over consumed it causes a person to become obese.
through looking at DR Gunther Von Hagens I was really interesed in anatomy and descided to experiement with anatomy drawings and I realised how much I enjoy drawing the human body, especially when drawing the details of what is inside the body, its interesting and I also learn alot.
i drew a few anatomy pieces and descided to encorporate these into my animation. i created my animation through photographing the pictures that i drew and using windows movie maker i put them all together. from this i came to realise how i dislike windows movie maker and since then i have recognised i-stop motion on the apple mac and i like this alot more. The animation starts off as a plate of food appears to be disapearing bit by bit as though it is eating itself. Then it moves onto me licking my lips and it then goes onto the drawings of the body and it looks like the drawings are eating food and digesting it. you then see the body develop fat. The body then has a heart attack due to the obesity.

Once I created this I was really pleased with it but I also learned alot. I learned that I should have used fewer pictures per second because it jitters and i should have also had my camera on a tripod so that it looks more flowing and not all over the place.
