Animation planning

1. For the animation topic i am working in a team with Callum and together we have decided to create a football Rotoscope. Focusing on the major event of this year The football world cup that is taking part in Rio. We thought this would be an interesting topic and it fits in with the major event that everyone is talking about/ advertising. Throughout the animation is will be a rotoscope and we will incorporate 10 different teams that are taking place in this years world cup e.g Brazil, England, Greece and so on. 

2. The animated type for our sequence is Rotoscope. This is because we wanted to show football through another style. Football rotoscope is creative and although its time consuming we think the end product will be worth it. Its appropriate that we use Rotoscope because in the eyes of media there always looking for something new and our inspiration for this sequence is ' Of Bale' Which is also a football rotoscope but theres not many out there so with our take and a different theme of football e.g The world cup, we believe it will be a success for youtube and A sports advert or generally an advert to be shown for this years World cup sponsoring different products. To create our animation we will be using Photoshop, with our original footage from a football game we can rotoscope over the different layers that show action and a variety of skill and different teams in a creative way.

3. The genre of style for our animate shows drama with an abstract twist. The drama is the competitiveness between the teams taking place in the world cup, everyone wants to know who's going to win and bet on there favourite, the world cup is a big thing in many countries and because it only come around once every 4 years everybody will be watching the games. Its abstract because were showing football in a different way through animate which is very rarely done. 

4. The story line is of 10 teams taking part in the world cup showing different skills and playing football as they would on the telly. But because we only have 2-3 minutes we want to show quick goals, tackles and skill on the pitch within each team so the views get the essence of what will be happening in this years world cup and will make them want to watch the games being played in the media. Because we have to get 10 teams in a 2 minutes piece there may be more, lets say, of England than there will be of brazil but it depends on the time length of the clips we have filmed. We want the animation to get people interested in the world cup and support like the rest of the world.

Animation Comparison

South Park
The making of a south park episode starts with the animators having a 22 minute script which the voices are then recorded and the animators turn the actions in sketched camera shots to bring it to life. Once the characters and backgrounds have been made then the lip sync's and expressions have to be placed on the characters. The audio is then put on it.

Dot
Dot was created using a Nokia N8 phone which was attached to a microscope. To create it they had to use 50 different models of dot of which were 3 for each position. Whilst filming they had to use the necessary character, take the shot, then take the character out to then put the next one on and then take another shot ect. Around 4 seconds of the animation was made per day. Dot was made by an animator who created 2D designs and gave them to a 3D modeller who would then use a 3D printer to make the character. Once they were printed off they had to put the wire on the character and paint her. They then, when it came to editing the editor had to use a back plate to remove the wire from the shot.

Peppa Pig 

The creators of Peppa pig used something called CelAction to produce the animation. They have a workflow unique to our methods of production which means that they can tell the stories they want with no limitations. 
CelAction2D is a professional 2D animation which is normally used to create films, TV series and adverts. It is very quick to use as they have effects built into the scene to allow them to be animated and edited fast by animators.
