12 Principles of animation

Follow through and overlapping action
This is when the animations body moves but some of there body parts or clothing aren't moving yet.

Slow-out and slow-in
Is when you have more images it makes the seconds longer and when you have fewer mages it makes the seconds go faster.

Arcs
Is the shapes on the body such as eyes, head and arms.

Secondary action
Is adding emphasis and supports the actions that the body makes so if a women is swinging her arms around her fingers will be moving as well as her selves down because of gravity.

Zoetrope - William George Horner

Zoetrope

The zoetrope is a turning object that uses persistence of motion to create the illusion that the images are moving around in a circle. I found the zoetrope interesting because it was originally called the wheel of devil and the images that are making the illusion of motion have nothing to do with the devil, and that that images are of a person riding a horse. The zoetrope was created by William George Horner in 1834 and it was important in the creation of stop motion because it introduced a possibility of animation of more complex animation in the future.

Stop Motion: Gulp

Gulp

                 I learned that stop motion is a very complicated thing that takes way more time then I would of thought it would take.I learned that it takes 16 hours to make only 20 shots. This stop motion in particular was one of the hardest because it was filmed outside so you had to make sure that the sun was in the right place so that there would be enough light on it, also because of how close it was filmed to the ocean they had to make sure that the tide wouldn't come and wash away the pictures they made in the sand and also the boat itself to make sure that it wouldn't get lost. The stop motion Gulp is the largest stop motion in the world it took a lot of team work and with 20 people with a lot of different ideas it took a lot of time to make. This stop motion was also filmed with a Nokia N8 phone so it shows that everyone can make a stop motion video all you need is time and enjoyment of making stop motion.
