Reflection and Analysis of Animation

When creating each individual image, I deliberately ensured that an object or pattern continued on from each picture to the next. For example, the chair in ‘Day 8’ to ‘Day 9’ (below). 


This is because I intended for the images to be viewed in a continuous journey, so that when I animated them, one element could animate into the next, as a transition. It is essentially inviting the viewer to see through my eyes and watch the diary playing out to them.



Stop-Motion

I could have chosen to create a drawn animation, which would seem more logical due to much of the content being digital images. But instead, I decided to do a stop motion animation. I feel that some transitions benefit greatly from being made of a real 3D material, such as plasticine. They have a gravitational movement to them which I feel can never quite be reproduced in drawn animation.
