Flipbook task 

For our first task we had to create a flipbook. This was something I had done before so I had some idea of what I wanted to do. The flipbook task was separated in to two segments. The first was to make our own individual flipbook, and the second was to make a group flipbook. Once our flipbook was created, we would then take pictures of it using a software called i-stop motion. This would turn our flipbooks in to it animation.   

Group Flipbook

We first started on the group flipbook. We came up with a basic idea of a ball, and worked around it. We through the ball would be good because of its simplicity. We came up with different sports activities played with a ball e.g. football, basketball etc. We thought the ball could be going through these different sports in our animation.

The animation would work like a chain reaction. The animation would start with the ball falling from the sky. This would be hit by a baseball player, where it would fall to a normal guy who would get the ball and do some football skills before kicking it away. The ball would get court by a basketball player, who shoots the ball in to the whoop and so on. The animation would end with the ball hitting a person in the face.

We all took different activities, an animated the ball coming in from the left and exiting from the right. To try and keep the continuity of the animation the ball would be a white generic ball, staying roughly the same through the whole animation.
