2. Use Of Materials 

Project Review

• What materials/techniques have you experimented with during this project?
• adore programes, drawings, ipads,imovie, iphoto, iphone and hd programes,clay motion.

• What skills have you developed during this project?
• how to create animated Gif,food imotion, observational drawing imotion, time lapse animation, stop motion, stop nation music video, shape tween and flash. 

• Discuss your use of materials/techniques - explain what you did, what went well, etc.
• with the Gif it was loads of photos looped to make it move, I really liked using gif and it was a quick but cool animation. The food/observational drawings was alright to do, i don't really like to draw but i found it quit fun to use different pens and watch yourself draw. The stopmation was kind of like a gif but you can add music,text, effects and backgrounds to it. With the shape tween you can to draw a shape in the flash program and make it move/change into different colours and add a face to make it change to different face. And with flash you had to make a person add all the detail in for example the eyes,ears,nose and mouth. 

• Did you experience any problems with the materials/techniques? What were they? How did you overcome them?
• Yes the flash program was the hardest to use and you had to follow a video setup to show how to work it but it was hard to understand and with out someone to actually show you, It was hard to picture and also know was tools to use and what the tools look like. I overcome this problem by asking a class member to help me. 

• You have experimented with a range of different techniques (animated gif, stop-motion, time lapse, claymation, flash) Discuss your use of each and explain which is your preference and why. 
• The techniques i preference was the claymation and the stopmation simply because i like how you can do any ideas you like and put you're own stamp on it. With the clay you can make it look the way you want it to look like. Also i thought they were easier and more effective out of all of them. As you could add music to them in iMovie and also add text and different effects/backgrounds.
