Naomi: This is Piya, and her creative superpower is reading, because knowledge is power! Naomi: Aw I love this challenge! So who’s going to be helping me on this one then? Be playful, enjoy yourself and get creative. Nush: Just remember to use sound to bring out the personalities and the characters. Nush: So your challenge is to create a 30 second stop-motion animation using everyday objects you can find around your home or your school classroom. Nush: but when we put the two together and put a munching noise we then know that the character, the dog, is munching and eating the food. We've created a character and we've given it an action,
Nush: Another thing to remember that's very important when animating is sound. If I do this action and I animate it so that the tissue slowly disappears while its munching on it, it will give the illusion that the peg or the dog is eating the tissue. Nush: So I'm thinking this dog wants to find something to eat. Nush: But then I'm thinking I need to make this into a thinking character because its only when you make it into a thinking character that you really bring out a personality. Nush: So lets say this peg- I'm thinking that its going to be a dog because it can move like this. Nush: What I first want to do is look at all the things I can move. Nush: But my favourite things to animate are everyday objects, giving them character and personality. Nush: There are a range of stop-motion animation techniques ranging from animating characters or models or even working with paint or drawings. Naomi: Nush is a BAFTA winning animation director. Naomi: It’s cool isn’t it? Right well I’m not just here to see the incredible things that these guys have done, I want to have a go at creating my own animation, and I know the perfect person to give us some tips! Naomi: Then all those photos are pasted together by editors so that when you play them all back it becomes an animation that tells a story. Naomi: Stop-motion animation is when you take an object or a model like these and move them a tiny amount at a time - so I'm going to make this little mouse wave, so you would capture each movement with a photo. Naomi: This studio is amazing – the team use their creativity to make models and produce stop-motion animations for a whole range of films and adverts. Naomi: Well that was strange! Anyway, I’m here at this animation studio to set you a challenge. Some of the best animated submissions have only been 3 or 4 minutes long.Naomi: This isn’t right – I feel a bit peculiar! Although 5 minutes is the maximum length for video submissions, there is no minimum length. It can take more time to create an animated video than a filmed one. Listen to the test recording to see if there are any adjustments you need to make to your recording equipment or environment, and then start your real recording. Pick somewhere quiet, turn off anything that makes noise and make a test recording. One advantage of making an animated video is having more control over the audio quality since you can record dialogue wherever you want. This is especially important if team members are each independently recording their own parts of dialogue. Recording multiple takes of each line of dialogue will give you more options to work with when you are editing your video together. The Math Video Challenge Video Spotlight includes a number of animated submissions from past years. Watching other videos is a great way to help you decide specific elements you want to incorporate (or avoid) in your video. If you aren’t meeting in person, this is a great way to make sure everyone agrees on what is going to happen in each part of the video. Before you start writing your script or creating your animation, you should plan what is going to happen in each scene with our storyboard template.
