Stop Motion Animation

Proposal

By Louis and Kieran

CONTENT

The animation, is about two play doh characters that are blobs in an art room.

One of them is good Bob and he's green and he wants to try and be friends with the other play doh blob called Bert and he's red but he's bad and he's really horrible to bob.

He bully's Bob and takes advantage of Bob trying to be his friend so Bert treats Bob like a slave and gets him to do all these things for him.

For the setting we will use objects like colouring pens and pencils to make up the background. In the background, we will also have the characters houses made out of play doh or plasticine.

STOP MOTION TECHNIQUE

Our animation will be a Claymation Technique however, we will also some stop motion with objects like pencils and paint brushes. We are using 2 different types of animation is because we want the Claymation characters to interact with real objects.  We will use a combination of plasticine and play doh to make the animated characters and to make their houses. We will use objects like colouring pens and pencils to make up the background.

We plan to make the animation about 45 seconds long because its only a quick filler programme for little children.

We want our animation to look quite smooth and realistic even though its only for little children. We don’t want it to be slightly jump like in object animation where the objects tend to jump around a bit. We are aiming for about 14 or 15 frames per second. 

AUDIENCE

The target audience is aimed at children between the ages of 3 to 6 years old. The animation would also be mainstream on a popular kids T.V program.

We want our animation to be shown on in the morning at around 8 or after school so it kids can watch it just before and after school.

The reason it is aimed at children’s age group is because its basic and it appeals to children because of the bright colours and funny characters.

INSPIRATION

the inspiration for our animation came from morph. morph inspired us through its use of location and the persona of the characters. we are going to have a similar style of animation to morph by using the same sought of voice morph has and we are going to use a voice over to tell the audience what is going on like in morph. we are also using claymation to make our animation like morph. we are also inspired by other animations like tom and jerry because our character bob is like jerry the mouse and our other character berts posona is like tom the cats.
