Stick Animation


Today at Enrich I did a stick animations for passion time.(I know I do a million animations!) Once again I used the same website and this time made a short movie,(Which took until Christmas... just kidding.) which has 300 frames which is basically 300 pictures! I have managed to make it go very smooth but the smoother it is, the harder it is to make it. The animation is about a stick figure doing a whole lot of crazy moves, like stretching his arm and karate kicking in the air. I have also managed to record it and here it is!

It took about 20 minutes to make. The website for the animation is here: http://www.stickpage.com/stickanimatorgameplay.shtml
 
The website even had options for saving and exporting! Which for a website game is quite good and helpful. There also is a similar program called pivot stick-figure animator but it is a program not a website game.

Stick Animation

Today at Enrich for passion time, I did stick animations instead of lego aniamtions. I used an online animation website to do it which is on stick page. It was fun and I made two, both were a guy falling from from the sky and then getting back up.

I also did a third one which was a guy karate kicking into the sky, which he then landed off the page! 

Since it was a website game instead of a programme it didn't have many options of what  you could do, like inserting more objects or changing colour of objects.

Lego Animation (With Video)


Today at Enrich we did passion time for about an hour it was fun and I added effects to my lego animations, which gladly I can now present on the blog!

It took me a couple of weeks to make all of these and I have added my 3 best ones together, the first one is at 10 frames per second making it a little choppy the other ones are at 5 or 3 frames per second making it look smoother.

My first one is about a wild sea lion who is this randoms guys pet who comes and collects him. The other two you will need to watch to see them!

Type without looking?

Today at Enrich we did a letter typing game, except the only catch was that we had to do it without looking. I was quite good at it! I found it quite hard, even right now as I am typing this I am not looking (just for practice).

The words we had to type weren't actually words but random letters containing the letters asdf, they were simple and quite easy for me but I could not type as fast as I would normally with looking. But typing without looking at what you are doing makes you not realize mistakes that you make during this but I still need to look for caps lock and commas and the rest which is bit hard to find without looking.

Overall I found it most enjoyable but frustrating when it would not type because I forgot a space!
