animation ideas

This week i have three ideas of what i want to do for my animation. i am planning on doing a pixilation video.

Idea 1: Two people are at the beach. They build a sand man. The sand man starts to move and make noises. The two people run away from him into the sea and he follows. He melts.

Idea 2: A dog and a boy are playing. The boy throws a stick and the dog chases after it. The dog disappears. They end up in the middle of a dark wood.

Idea 3: Two people play football on a field. one trips the other up and they break out into a brawl. They become best of friends.

Props: Sand, pebbles, seaweed.

People: Using two boys.

Cut out characters: don't need any using people.

Sound-FX: Some strange noises for the sandman's voice.

Music: using the music i created in Clive's class.

Sets: At the beach.

Backgrounds: Beach.

At first the boys will walk onto the beach and find a spot to sit down. They will begin to gather sand for the sandman.

They will start building the sandman from the bottom always adding sand. Once the sandman is built they will add two pebbles as the eyes.

One of them will go and find some seaweed and bring it back to create the sandman's mouth. The sandman then starts to talk/make strange noises.

The two boys get freaked and run toward the sea. They don't reach the sea but lay flat on the floor so that he can't see them, but the sandman follows them. Thinking the have gone in, he goes into the sea. We see him melt into the sea. Then see the boys lying on the floor.

time lapse

A time lapse is when you take photos  or videos of something happening over months or years, however it is then all squished down into maybe 30 seconds or 1 minute long. This makes the video look faster than it took.

an example of time-lapse is this video of dubai.

There is also speed drawings which are just time lapse but drawings, where someone is filming themselves drawing. This drawing may take them hours or days, and it is all condensed down into minute long videos.
