Cut-Out Animation + Evaluation

Whilst introduced to the task, Sue had told us to get into groups. A group was then formed consisting of myself, Zek, Rifat, Bilal and Idris. We were then told to browse through a various selection of magazines to try and search for multiple cut-out possibilities that would be suitable for the creation of our cut-out animation. We decided to cut out the head of Queen Elizabeth then implement cut-outs that would make the animation less formal and more humorous. Then we decided to use a cartoon body holding the American flag. We thought that adding the cartoon body with the American flag would add that bit of contrast that would make the cut-out animation as a whole more interesting. We thought that the use of the sunglasses shooting out of the camera would be the creative aspect of the cut-out animation. Personally, I thought the project as a whole was successful because of the ideas that we had to incorporate into the animation. At first, it was a bit of a struggle to think of any ideas at all, but once we found the right images, we thought that our task would become greatly simplistic in our effort to strive for a idea that we thought we could make the most out it.

Edward Muybridge

Born on the 9th April 1830, Edward Muybridge was an important English photographer who was renowned for his work in motion and motion picture productions. In the 1880s, Muybridge entered a very productive period at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia, producing over 100,000 images of animals and humans in motion, capturing what the human eye could not distinguish as separate movements. He spent much of his later years giving public lectures and demonstrations of his photography and early motion picture sequences. He also edited and published compilations of his work, which greatly influenced visual artists and the developing fields of scientific and industrial photography.

Zoetropes: Explanation of Zoetropes + Phi Phenomenom

What is a Zoetrope?
A device designed in the 19th Century which revolutionised the way animation was perceived in its early days and in the modern world. It's a optical toy which consists of a spinning cylinder which when placing a piece of paper on the inner layer of the cylinder with drawing designs intended for animation on the paper, when spinning we are able to see the drawing coming to life and moving through the slits in the cylinder's design, which is known as the 'Phi Phenomenon' or 'persistence of vision'.

What is 'Phi Phenomenon'?
Phi Phenomenon is an optical illusion caused by the human brain perceiving the movement of separate objects rapidly and in quick succession so our eyes aren't quick enough to see the brief gaps in the animation, depending on the amount of frames used. Therefore it seems as if the drawing is coming to life and moving.
