Posted by viechuy in Stop Motion Animation - Nine Creative and Easy Techniques on Kamis, 15 Juli 2010
If you want to draw some stop motion animation but do not know what to do This article will help. Often people think that you have to spend endless hours drawing the same numbers over and over again with a slight change is only one among all the graphic. While this is true and there are a lot of innovative technologies that you can use to draw the animation is fun and interesting without repeating endless. This article shows you nine techniques.You can do all of these techniques with very few tools. Apart from any matters necessary to stop-motion animation, such as camera, computer and some free programs will be able to do these things with paper, pencil and eraser or the preferred method for dry erase board. I prefer the dry erase board because it is very easy to take advantage of and erase things as you go.
1 - the text and the words on this point is that the movement of a message or story and the text is a great tool to do so. You can write words and sentences directly on your work area. You can do so in a manner animation by adding letters or words in the same time.
2 - Drawing the background and this is often overlooked in animation but a good background or even a simple background adds a level of depth to the story you tell. You can move or simply leave as is with no movement at all.
3 - This is a simple proposal is a way of drawing an object on the field of work, and take a picture, and its disappearance and re-drawing in a new location. This proposal of the object simulates movement and is very effective and easy to do. It can be as simple as rain drops are making progress on the work surface or the ball bouncing across the screen.4 - Growth - add lines and features of thought in this matter is something growing right before your eyes. Trees and plants make good themes for this purpose. You can draw a line, take a picture, to extend the line, take another picture, and so on until the full and harmonious development. You can also reverse this method and the things that may shrink in size. You can scan and capture images on small batches.
5 - Anthropomorphism: taking human form to express things you can draw simple human shapes that are very expressive. They do not have to be complex and even stick figures and simple will do. But it will give you a very wide range of expression from shock to excitement and happiness as well as the full range of human feelings.
6 - vary the speed of what is happening and this is an important tool. You have to remember that things do not occur in all the same rate of speed so you should vary your drawings to reflect this. Characters can run or walk, and items can move slow or fast. A flower grows slowly and a rock falls from the sky quickly. Space your drawings to reflect these differences in speed.
7 - different camera angle or zooming and panning you can zoom or pan movement without moving the camera or in the workspace. This is a really neat technique that will make your video more interesting and more attractive. To zoom in on an object you draw is simply the steps that are larger and larger, and while you do this you do the same toward the center of the workspace. If you have painted the background you can move to the left or right to simulate panning.For a fixed 8 - Is it going to multiple events in many cases, when making an animated picture, it is easy for one character to a central, but if you want to make your animation more interesting it must be remembered that more than one thing can be move at any moment, even if only because of the wind is blowing.
9 - Tell a story and this is the most important method, and must give it much thought. Is to stop the whole movement lies. This is the reason behind what is happening in the animation and gives the viewer for a good reason to continue watching. If the viewer knows the story unfold it is more likely to stick with the video to see how it turns out.
Stop-motion animation is a wonderful creative pursuit and you do not need a lot of materials and tools needed to make some major movements. You do not need to draw hundreds of images that are merely repeated, with slight changes. With a little thought and creativity you can make some that are easy and enjoyable.
Animation Character Bible - What Goes Into It
Posted by viechuy in Animation Character Bible - What Goes Into It
Bible character and heart and soul of a series of cartoons. Without the proper character of the Bible you can not even begin to talk with anyone about your concept. I have seen many character bibles from producers all over the world in the past few years the request for cooperation and joint production. I saw them really good and very spectacular. Has received a number of questions asked about what is happening in the Bible character, I wrote this topic to give some insight into this subject. The following are the various elements that should form the Bible creation.It is very important to be brief in the Bible of your character. This is the basis upon which to build the entire story must be concise, but not enough so long can not be read or interpreted in 3 minutes or less. Try to make that call one if possible. Shorter you can make this and maintain it is still interesting, the better.
Designs include the most important figures in the Bible of your character. There is no doubt that spend a long time to make them look good and ensure that justice to your concept. Bible character should be more visible from the wordy, and view the designs of nature to the fullest extent - with the various forms of expression, and constitutes the main characters. Props - if any - should also be displayed. These are very important to show the potential of characters must be animated, or are licensed for different reasons. People read the Bible character need to be able to feel the characters who they are and get an idea of the exhibition by the nature of these designs.Ideally you the text description of the characters can not be prolonged, because people are not many actually read through the text to all. The letter should describe the planned figures only the most important characteristics to keep things short and quick read. Visual and should be tested before sale, and the text does not sell.
Would be good to display some key sites, as well as providing explanations of how or comics in the world of property appears.
Basically, it would be good to leave as little as guess work of perspective partners as possible, so as to not prejudice the identity and values of this property.Finally - for the property being ready for the animation - you may want to include so-called 'cross summary' - which defines the stories that can occur in a series of animated cartoons. Is usually by a doctor this script '- which can also help in the renovation of the background story and character description.
Cinema 4D

Rarely are any of us pick up a book, especially instruction manuals and read from beginning to end. Even for a comprehensive understanding, we tend to 'look forward' in areas of particular interest, with special effects, and in particular, Cinema4D, PEEK forward in animation.
Animation is what distinguishes the special effects, motion applications from say a very sophisticated graphics applications like Adobe Illustrator or Adobe Photoshop. Photoshop integrated video and 3D in CS4, so the lines that define a bit blurred. Cinema 4D is a full 3D 64-bit applications with texture and lighting and everything you need to create realistic scenes and objects and more, creating fantastic detail. Video games, cartoons, Harry Potter, 'pull' of reality, and it's magic applications as Cinema 4D.
So if this is necessary to 'learn the basics', imagine the primitives and basic construction tools, if you're tempted to "sneak peek" ahead, go for animation. The animation is life, and the animation is the story. Whether your message is fine, after looking at their character and expression, or an object in the sky burning or explosion, action and movement to tell a story.
Introducing yourself to the animation tool is easy, as easy as a single primitive object. Under 'Window' menu item, the timeline option. It will be a separate control module with all the objects in the timeline and the materials used. However, in the upper left C4d is a small preview of the preset menu and select animation presets will place the entire timeline in the current workspace layout. It plots all objects with their 'parent' relationships to the timeline with keyframes and special controls visible.
Seen from the perspective of your key, you see the familiar start / stop to go to the beginning / end arrows beside them are some special buttons for animation. Three are bright red followed by four orange buttons. Red button to set the keyframes along the timeline, automatic keyframing and the selection of objects.
Before we use these buttons, a simple primitive object, click 'Coord' under 'menu attributes', and you'll notice as you move one of the axes of arrows, which corresponds to x, y, z coordinates reflects this movement. You can choose from small circles on the left side of these coordinates using the 'Ctrl' key, which will create the key. Now, if the value is set to position 'time' will occupy the timeline. You could choose any or all three coordinates.
When you create this key frame will be highlighted on an expanded timeline of the blue 'key'. Try setting some simple keyframes, let your balls to move through a scene, or add some rotation as it goes. We will explore the possibility of more specific time.
Cinema 4D - More Animation
Posted by viechuy in Cinema 4D - More Animation
CINEMA 4D offers animation tools is very simple but when you start to learn more, and more advanced tools to help save time and stretch your mind. Let's look a little more of the tools and animation techniques that provide you with Cinema4D.
When you choose small circles next to your coordinate values, and 'above the red, have you set a keyframe on the timeline, but when you open a window or select the calendar of animation pre-workspace, a time limit extended to all objects of your folders' most children with keyframes and ranges shown. This timetable is expanded and more tools to help you identify and refine your animation.
One of these tools is 'fcurve' view schedule. When you choose this option your keyframes and the distance between the curves as shown is linked to the rate of change, and 'speed'. For some it is easier to see this clearly. For example, you may have animation that is jerky and sudden. View fcurve is using a different perspective may help in identifying the region, and the points that can help you 'smooth out. In fact, there is a 'F-curve' menu and one of the display options it is speed. Fcurve and graphic representation of the movement is not only an assistant helps in the perception of what is happening, in fact, you can adjust the points, and keyframes in this view to make changes and shifts gradually to acquire, 'smooth' changes in the faces of the private sector.
When you choose a keyframe, it is accented with Bezier handles display. Bezier handles allows you to 'draw' or reduce the area being modified. Most drawing tools provide this control Bezier so you are probably familiar with the concept. 
There is a menu option to pre-popular, 'at ease', 'reduce', 'softer' that will help you adjust your transformation keyframe. This graphical representation of your proposal does not replace other tools used by the special 'bigger picture'. Train your have the same access to the station. fcurves what 'does not provide, however, is a different way to present the proposal, graphically, rather than numerically.
Typically, using a variety of tools such as this is what will help you get a look at the effects that you want and fine tune the accuracy of some of your animation, making it more realistic. It's fun to use the display fcruve to make adjustments in the curves of movement, and then simply play your animation and taking into account the changes that you made from the perspective of surveillance. You can choose individual components in the presentation of your schedule, and after controlling for shifts back to the default view to evaluate the changes.
