Cut-out Animation: A Day at the Seaside!!

For this animation our group (me, Matt Clowes and Ben Morley) created a cut-out animation (see the video on this post). We used 24 fps because we thought it woudn't look as good if it was under 24 fps becuase it would have looked slow and not as affective as we wanted it to be. The results that we got from completing the animation were in some cases good but also bed. The good part was that it looked affected  and the animation was funny and had an understandable storyline. The bad part of the animation was that it looked a bit jumpy and the colours could have been used more effective. The colours of the animation was very affective but it would have been better if the characters of the animation could have been a distinctive colours to make them stand out. I feel the camera work on the production is really affective and have been used very well. If we had more time on our task to create the cut-out animation I would have spent more time making the animation to make it look more fluent and less jumpy and more time to work on the pre-production so we can fully understand what we are going to do on the final production. The principles of animation I used in this animation is staging, anticipation, exaggeration, slow in and out, timing and squash and stretch.
