Investigation


Project Brief


Situation

The little ones are boooored! They’ve watched all new movies, seen all the cartoons, had their parents read all the books, but they still want something new. Do you think you entertain a toddler with nothing but a camera and some play dough? Prove it!


IntroductionMy clients are grade 6 students. There problems are that they are bored, They watched all new movies, books, and cartoons but they still want something new that are fun. Throughout this semester, I’m going to design and create a educational animation that is suitable for elementary and kinder garden students to watch it. To make a good quality product i will have to go through certain steps, which are investigation, design, plan, create, and evaluation. I will interview my client and discuss about there problems, I will planned what to do before i move to the next stage. I will try my best to make my animation for them.


AOI

This project is related to community and service. Community and service means an action that benefits the community. In this project we will make an animation for the grade 6 students. This will be provided for the students for entertainment.


Client InterviewWhat type of animation are you interested in?I am interested in watching animation like mangas, cartoon from Japan. I love watching them

Are you bored of watching cartoons, movies that are in t.vI am bored of watching cartoons, movies that are in TV

Do you want it to be funny, sad or cool?cool, I want the animation to be cool

How can we entertain you?entertain by making something like big bang and make something really big change so the readers can get curious about how the story will get going so then, they are more interested in reading it and thats how I am going to write animation

What is your idea for making animation?if me, ACTION and some FANTASY, well, its because, people now loves animation like fighting and battling, for example, naruto, bleach, one piece, fairy tail, etc.... its all fighting and fantasy as you know, so I guess that sort of comics or cartoons are the best...

Are you interested in animation? why?Yes, because its awesome and i love actions.


Client Interview Summary

From the interview with my client, I now know that we need to have action and it must be cool and make them enjoy our video. So We are going to be making an action animation that is cool and entertaining. We will make a fighting animation that also includes making viewers curious how the story will end.

Case Study Summary

When searching from the 2 animations from mr. Brian’s blog. This two animations give me some ideas for the product. They were also costless and give me some visuals about the pro’s and con’s.


Software

IstopmotionA software that

was available for us to use in our

macs and was handy enough to

us grade 8 to use.

Miku Miku DanceAn animation software

from vocaloid companny. The

characters are only be used from vocaloid and

it only works for windows. It’s also

complicated to use.


Design Brief

This animation is for the grade 6 students, this students will be able to be more creative with all the creative ideas. Also they can learn how we made this from us so when they become grade 8 they can teach the other students too. The animation will be filled with cool characters, awesome themes and cool story line fit for the grade 6 students.This will make the students learn, entertained for time being when they are watching the animation.

Evaluation specification

Design 1: I think the first design of the story board will be attractive and making the on who watch it curious how it will ends. I also think that this movie will be up to 2 minutes long. The cost also ok.

Design 2: I think this design will be not successful because the animation is just in seconds and didn’t make the audience curious. The animation will also only last in seconds.


Design evaluationSo I am going to make the design from the 1st story board that will make the viewers curious and having some actions. The movie I predicted is going to be 2 minutes long and it is going to entertain the ones who make it.


Plan


Step By step

we will use clays to try making characters

We mark up to make stages for the movie

I will use the template to make the stages by cutting and pasting

The background for the movie will be in colored paper

We went online to see examples of how movie will be

We used examples from Real Steel movie to make cool characters

We combine everything into place to make the movie

We went online to see examples of how movie will be

In this stage we will now make movement and take photos for

the movie


Gantt Chart


Evaluation of the Plan

My Movie is good, it is using as less resources as possible creating the best product. My movie takes a lot of steps from cutting pasting to taking photos for each scenes. My movie will be great, we have brainstormed a lot of ideas. It will be fun for the Grade 6 students, right now everything is good. But the movie will be hard to make, and we should make it very well to be able to entertain the Grade 6 students


CREATE


CHANGING PROGRAME

We changed the programe from Istop Motion to Imovie because we think that I can work well in Imovie and we know lots of things about how to use Imovie.


DOCUMENT EVIDENCE


EVALUATION


Evaluating my performance in each stage of the Design cycle.

Investigation: We are having lack of information inside of the presentation due of lack of time that we have to do this steps.Design: We done well on Design, we already design a nice story board based by our investigation.Plan: The planning is all right. We can do the planning well.Create: It’s fun when we are trying to make the clays moving, but it’s so frustrating for us putting the photo’s together because I need to do a lot of clicks to insert the photo into a movie.


Testing: meeting specificationsAfter we look at the final product with the specifications, we think the product meet all specification.

Successful points of product

The successful points of the product is that we already try to make the movie interesting and also no violence (like bloods). The movie is also already 2 minutes long.

Least successful points

I think the movie was a little bit not smooth when the picture goes to another picture because we have a little bit

lack of photo needed.


Modification/Improvements I think next time I need to take pictures more so that the

movie will be running more smoother. Well, at least we already have a nice movie in our hands.

Impact to societyI think the Childs that will see the movie will be entertained

by this movie. The movie will also not be turned to waste because the movie is a software not a hard ware.

Impact to environment

I think this product is environmentally friendly, because this is a software/not a thing. The movie can created trash if the

movie is inside a CD.
