Secrets of Clay Animation Revealed
Aardman Animations
Author: Annabelle Honess Roe
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 135013029X
Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 289
Book Description
The Bristol-based animation company Aardman is best known for its most famous creations Wallace and Gromit and Shaun the Sheep. But despite the quintessentially British aesthetic and tone of its movies, this very British studio continues to enjoy international box office success with movies such as Shaun the Sheep Movie, Flushed Away and Wallace and Gromit: Curse of the Were-Rabbit. Aardman has always been closely linked with one of its key animators, Nick Park, and its stop motion, Plasticine-modelled family films, but it has more recently begun to experiment with modern digital filmmaking effects that either emulate 'Claymation' methods or form a hybrid animation style. This unique volume brings together leading film and animation scholars with children's media/animation professionals to explore the production practices behind Aardman's creativity, its history from its early shorts to contemporary hits, how its films fit within traditions of British animation, social realism and fantasy cinema, the key personalities who have formed its ethos, its representations of 'British-ness' on screen and the implications of traditional animation methods in a digital era.

Author: Yvonne Andersen
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 120
Book Description
Under the author's direction, students from 5 to 18 years old have been making prize-winning animated films. In this guide intended for any adult who wishes to teach film animation, she describes and illustrates the techniques she has developed in her seven years of experience teaching animation to children in a workshop setting. All essential phases of camera work, synchronized sound recording, and optical sound recording are covered. In addition to price guidelines and evaluations of cameras, projection and editing equipment, films, and tape recorders, there are directions for adapting cameras that lack such features as single-frame release for animation work. Detailed instructions explain the various techniques used in creating characters, scenery, story, and sound. Animation methods such as movable and hinged cutouts, clay, toys, painted film, constructed forms, and pixillation (live actors) are described and illustrated. The approach recommended in the guide is designed to allow direct hands-on experience in which the child himself is involved in all aspects of creation, from the original story idea through the technical process to the final presentation.
