3D Characters that I am going to be using

This is an image of what I am going to be suing in my animation I have made to healthy foods in an Apple and a Orange. The junk foods that I have made are a Burger and a portion of Chips and they are going to kick the junk food our of the way and eat all the healthy food that is There and then they will go for a jog after it to burn it off then I will have Eat Healthy and Stay Active at the end and I add some music into the animation and some sounds to the characters. I am going be the narrator in the background of the animation speaking about why it is vital to have a balanced and healthy diet and most of all to keep fit because constantly eating junk food and isn't good for your body so with my animation I am also raising awareness about the growth of obesity in England by doing this for my 3D animation. 

3D Mind Map

This is the mind map that I have done to show how I have came up with the idea to create my Eat Healthy 3D Animation and there is just a few points that I have wrote on the way to coming up with my idea for my 3D animation such as the going on a jog after eating the food and also kicking the junk food away on the advertisement. 

3D Storyboard

This is my StoryBoard showing what I want to happen in my 3D animation which is called Opposite Joe. First what will happen will be my 2 characters stood in front of two types of foods in junk foods such as Burgers, Chips and there will also be some Healthy food such as apples and oranges. What will happen next is the two characters will kick away the junk food and start to eat all the healthy foods showing that they are better for you and this is the meaning of my animation. Then what will happen next is they will go on a jog to try and keep fit and this is showing that doing exercise is important to do in your life. Then at the end of the Animation my slogan will come up saying Eat Healthy and Keep Fit. 

Analysing 3D advert Change For Life Snack Swapper

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i3xXK1BcMB4

This is another advert that I looked at by Change For Life whilst coming up with my idea of a Healthy Eating animation. When watching this advert about snack swapping I came up with an idea in mine to use the characters kicking away the junk food from them and then eating the Healthy food instead. Another part of this advert that I am gong to take some inspiration from is the narration in the background I feel that the narrator in this advert is very important because what he is doing in the advert is raising awareness about swapping your snacks but this doesn't mean at home this could include school where instead of having a bag of crisps for your break you could have a apple or an orange sometimes just so you are able to keep your balanced diet Overall I have got a lot of inspirations from these to adverts on how to create my advert. 

Analysing Healthy Adverts 3D Change for Life

This is one of the adverts that I have looked at whilst coming up with my idea to do a healthy eating adverts. This is part of my inspiration to make it because it shows the morph characters eating an apple and eating healthy and doing some exercise straight after they have eaten an healthy meal or snack. But what I am going to do is come up with my own slogan rather than using change for life I will use Eat an Healthy Balanced Diet. I have chosen this topic because Britain has become second to america as the second biggest country for the increase in obesity in children. What I decided to do is make my own 3D animation based on eating healthy as I feel this is becoming out of hand and parents need to get there children doing exercise instead of keeping them sat in doors most of the time and I feel that it will show its benefits by doing a healthy eating advertisement to show that doing an hour of exercise can go a long way in helping you keep a balanced diet but also maybe stop eating lots of chocolate a day and maybe have some fruit just to help you keep and have a balanced diet.

3D Animation Program Research

Here are some images of the 3D Morph characters that are used in 3D programs such as Wallace and Gromit who made the biggest breakthrough and made 3D Animation known to the world which was created by Nick Park it consisted of 4 series which had 4 shorts films on it and then in 2004 a Wallace and Gromit movie was released called Wallace and Gromit the Curse of the Ware Rabbit. Wallace and Gromit was one of the first 3D Animation programs to use stop-motion and when the first program of Wallace and Gromit aired on the 24th December 1990 which was called a Grand Day out it was all different to everyone because nobody had seen stop motion before and cause of this it was nominated for one of the best short films to be released. After this in 2005 there was a Wallace and Gromit film that was released onto the big screens and this was again huge because Wallace and Gromit hadn't been released in Cinemas before and Nick park the man who created Wallace and Gromit got an academy award for this film and earned a 5 year contract to make more films such as Flushed Away and after this the contract fell through due to differences in creating the films. In 2013 Peter lord tweeted that there were no plans at present time to go and create a new short film and in 2014 he then Nick Park the Creator of Wallace and Gromit tweeted that there may never be another Wallace and Gromit Short film due to the declining health of the main actor Peter Stills so as you can see Wallace and Gromit is massive the development of Stop Motion and was the launch pad for a lot of other 3D Stop motion.

Toy Story was the first american animated film adventure film which was created by Pixar Animated Studios which was a company that was released by Walt Disney before he passed away Toy Story was a laugh pad for other Pixar films to be released such as Monsters INC, UP, WALL E .When Toy Story was first released into cinemas it was really successful and on its first weekend of being on the big screen it grossed over $361 million because of how different it was and it was praised for its technical innovation because again like Wallace and Gromit this was all new to people and it had never been seen before and the executive producers behind all Toy Story was Steve Jobs and Edwin Catmull. The first Toy Story received 3 academy awards such as Best original Screen Play, Best original score and Best Original Song which was You've Got a Friend in Me and now Toy Story is widley regarded as one of the best animated films ever made and then after the film Disney started to create and build action figures for the film such as Buzz and Woody and all the other characters they were creating everything for the film and this was a launch pad for the second film to be released in 1999 Toy Story 2 and then in 2010 Toy Story 3 was announced to everyone and they both generated the same amount of money as the first one because of how much of a big success it was and just recently Pixar announced there would be a final instalment to the series being Toy Story 4 in 2017.There are also recently built rides in DisneyLand Florida which have now been built such as Buzz Lightyears Space Rangers Spin Which is in the Magic Kingdom in DisneyLand Florida and there are also Toy Story Character Greetings as you can see by this Toy Story was the launch pad and behind most of the success involving Pixar and Stop Motion. 

3D Animation Proposal

In this blog I will be talking about my 3D animation that I am going to be creating. For my 3D animation I will be creating a Eat Healthy animation and I will be creating my own characters out of clay. I will also be creating the foods such as the healthy foods so that will consist of apples pineapples and oranges. The junk food that I will be creating will also be made out of clay and this will be pizza chips. The meaning of the animation will be to eat healthy and stay fit and what will happen is there will be two characters and they will have choice to eat the healthy food or the junk food and the characters will kick the junk food out of the way and they will eat the healthy food and then what will happen is they will go on a jog to burn off the food and lose some weight. The animation will show that you should keep an healthy balanced diet and also do exercise at the same time and this is the meaning of the animation.

Working Title 

The working title for my 3D animation will be Opposite Joe because I don't really eat healthy myself so with it being about me I am demonstrating an opposite day for my by starting to eat a bit more healthy myself and having a balanced diet that is why it is called Opposite Joe

Medium to be Used

My animation is going to be done using clay to make the characters and I will also be using clay to make all my foods because this animation is a 3D animation with my last animation I used paper to create my animation so I am going to be using clay as a change.

Intended Audience 

The intended audience of my animation will be aimed at everyone because everyone should be eating a healthy balanced diet and doing the right exercise to keep fit and this will be the meaning of my animation and with my animation it will include a Snack swapper which is aimed at everyone showing that when your on your breaks at School, College and Work instead of having a bag of crisps or a chocolate bar go for something healthy like an apple or an orange just son you are keeping your balanced diet.

Indication of Style

The style that my advert will be educational because the animation or advert might inspire people into eating healthy and having a balanced diet. My animation also will inspire people into doing exercise such as jogging or maybe going gym that is the meaning of the animation.

Summary of the Content

The summary of the animation will be to eat healthy and stay fit and what will happen is there will be two characters and they will have choice to eat the healthy food or the junk food and the characters will kick the junk food out of the way and they will eat the healthy food and then what will happen is they will go on a jog to burn off the food and lose some weight. The animation will show that you should keep an healthy balanced diet and also do exercise at the same time and this is the meaning of the animation.

Length and Size of my Product

The length of my animation that I will be creating will be 30 seconds long because with it being an advertisement and meaning something I don't want it being to long and with it being 30 seconds I can fit everything in the animation and be able to get my point across to people to eat healthy and have a balanced diet within the 30 seconds mark and I think that it is achievable to be able to do this within this time mark.

Evaluation for my 2D animation

The animation that I have created is a race around a hand drawn track that I have designed myself with the characters that I have which are Red Blue Green and Yellow and they all race around the track competing against each other to win the race. I also designed the track myself and I looked at some images of formula one tracks and the inspiration I took was from the Barcelona formula track to design my track with the two sharp corners and the long straights thats the inspiration that I took from that and designed the rest myself. After this when I was creating my animation what I did was because the camera wouldn't be able to view all the track so when I was moving the four characters around the track I moved the track first then the characters and this went well. Another thing that went well whilst I was creating my animation was when I was adding the sound effects from youtube onto final cut express such as the car noises that I used the Mario Kart Ready, Steady, Go which they use in there games I used this because thats the main inspiration for my animation. One of the troubles that I had whilst making my animation was the darkness changed mid way through the animation so I had to add some effects to the animation and make the colours brighter and then I had to render the animation. If I was to do this animation again what I would do is completely change my idea and do something different instead of Mario Kart.

My idea for my 3D animation that I am creating is a Healthy Eating animation and what I want to happen in this animation is there is going to be 2 characters and I am going to have a selection of junk foods and healthy foods and the two characters are going to kick the junk foods out of the way and eat the healthy foods. Then what is going to happen is after they have eaten the foods they are going to go on a jog to show that you need to keep fit and eat a balanced diet and that is the meaning of this animation that I am going to be creating.

2D Animation Link

This blog post will have a few screen shots of my animation in youtube and the link will be in there for you to go and look at it showing different stages of my animation such as the title the start of the race with the Ready, Steady, Go and also showing the characters racing and also the characters hitting the finish line. 

2D What I have done So Far in my Animation

This post is going to be about What I have done so far in my animation so far. What I have done with my animations so far is that I have created my 2D animation. What I have created is a Mario Kart themed animation. The animation that I have created is a race around a hand drawn track that I have designed myself with the characters that I have which are Red Blue Green and Yellow and they all race around the track competing against each other to win the race. What I did when I was creating the animation was to show all the racers being competitive In the race at least once in the race one a different character leads the race with a dramatic finish at the end with the red one finishing first then the yellow second blue third and green fourth and showing them all at the end crossing the finishing line one by one thats the animation that I have created for my 2D flat animation and I need to do my 3D one and I am still thinking of an idea for that. I also need to add some sound effects in my flat 2D animation which will be the Ready Steady Go sound effect and car nosies to add to the animation then my 2D animation will be complete. The meaning of the animation that I have created is that its not always about winning in sport it is about the participation that counts when your doing sport.
