Stop Motion Term 4

In terms of 4, we started a stop motion project.We got to pick teams of 3-4 people.In my team it was me/Nathuli, Amirah and Maryam.The title of our stop motion video will be “New Zealand tourist attractions.” The characters in our stop motion video will be us three:Me, Maryam and Amirah, animals, workers.The concept of the stop motion for the whole class is like a advertisement for why tourists should come and visit New Zealand, it would increase the population of people coming to New Zealand daily.For our team jobs, we are all all doing a little bit of everything so we can experience every little bit of making it.


A summary of our story

For our story, The first part is where Maryam flys to NZ from Australia to visit me and Amirah, also to experience New Zealand.Then we all drive to Queenstown from Christchurch, where Maryam flew to. Then for a fun day to convince Maryam to move to New Zealand we went to the luge and bungee jumping, for fun.Maryam had a really fun time in New Zealand.Lastly we went on a Hamilton Jet boat to go to a nearby coffee shop shop and sit down to have roasted marshmallows.

Bringing My Stop Motion Movie to Life: Designing Characters and Backgrounds

In week 5/4 i have been busy with my buddy:Maryam(Our other buddy was sadly away :Amirah) and we have been designing characters and making back-rounds for our stop motion on the sketches school app!Im exited to show you our choices and effort with our Honey bee 🐝 life cycle!:

Brain storm:

 

to decide which characters, backgrounds, and props I’d need, setting, colours, size of characters etc. then went onto a sketching app to begin sketching.

What we used to make our drawings:

We used many different kinds of brushes on the app sketches school like the paintbrush and the pen, but we mainly used the pen!We have almost finished our drawing, just need to add the final touches before we airdrop it to Miss Goodwin!

Reflection:

I am really happy on how the bees and humans came out, they look good considering we can’t use stick figures and the bees look adorable and small.I think it taught us how to properly even out jobs between us 2 and also taught us teamwork.

 

A real challenge that we had was drawing the humans but Maryam managed to do them almost perfectly, but even so the colour matching was hard because some people were indecisive and couldn’t pick a colour but i think we made it out in the end!
