FAO CGAA Year 1: Unit 5 0 Get the ball bouncing.

Brilliant work from both the morning and afternoon groups yesterday.
Here's a recap of the films we saw:

• Humourous Phases of Funny Faces (J. Stuart Blackton)
• Jim Le Fevre's amazing Zoetrope (scroll down his site to some other very interesting films based on cinema toys)
• Bill Brands Maastransiscope subway art
• Moray Mc Laren's 'We Got Time'
• Interesting adverts using 'morphs': Sony Bravia and The Landrover Freelander ad.

Things we discussed yesterday:

• Brief history of drawn animation: cinema toys- persistence of vision- early drawn animation films
  
• Animating Loops
• Morphs: class exercise animating a giant morph portrait chain
• Unit of time in Animation
• Animating on 2's/ Animating on 1's
• Bouncing Ball exercise
• Practical things to remember (keeping a reference aspect ratio frame, numbering drawings, using the right pencils)

This is a reminder of what we looked at yesterday.. for reference and for anyone who missed the class.
