HA4 - Task 3
For this task I had to look at video format, screen resolution, frame rate, screen ratio, codec’s and graphics of four different stop motions and compare them all to each other. All the different motion graphics I looked at and researched are all very different. I watched them and found them all on YouTube but tried to find out all the technical comments for the original format of the motion graphic also.
I am creating an E4 Sting for HA6 so have resarched motion graphics in detail and all different types to help me understand and learn more about them and how they work.
The first motion graphic I researched and evaluated was the Grease Film Opening which is a very old film so the opening was completely different compared to the newer graphics, pixels, video format and resolution like a film now. The format of the video wasn’t in HD and I checked this on the DVD, however the Finding Nemo Interactive Menu which was the second stop motion I researched was in HD on YouTube and on the DVD, which I watched. The film was released on DVD on September 24 2002 for the first time. When DVD’s were released in 2002 a new codec came in which was AVC/H.264, this was the codec for the Grease film opening. Even though this film was released in 2002 the original film and formats were made when it was first filmed in 1978 June 16th. The frame rate of this film was 29.97 fps which is good for the time of release but the technical parts were updated when it was re released. Because this film isn’t in high definition that means its standard definition so the resolution off this film should be around 640*480 but I couldn’t find the exact resolution. All the motion graphics i looked at link in different ways wether it be the similar audience or because of the same time of release or channel.
Finding Nemo was released just the year after Grease on the 30th May 2003 so some as well as it being animation it was also a year more advanced so the two films look completely different. This was my second motion graphic and cotrasts the Grease Opening because of the space between the two and what they are one being a film the other being an interactive menu. The definition, resolution and the video both look and are different. I have found some of the technical comments for the YouTube video I viewed it on and for the DVD I watched it on. MPEG4 is the codec used for the YouTube video of the DVD Menu its good because it shows good image quality. The frame rate for the DVD is 23.976 fps which is one of the higher frame rates; this is used to give the film a heightened sense of reality for the viewers making the film look very good. Even though images seem to flicker if they are lower than 30fps but the human vision has no frame rate. The resolution for the interactive menu 1280*720 and that’s what the whole film is in as well. However on the YouTube video I watched it on the resolution was 240*240 which is clearly much smaller.
The E4 sting was my next research and this is the most modern one released onto YouTube 1st Feb 2012 this was shown in HD and you can see the difference between the animations on the Grease Opening to the Finding Nemo Interactive Menu. This stop motion was more similar to the Interactive menu because of This stop motion looks very real like someone’s moving the toy soldiers because of how they move which looks more robotic which is the style they was looking to make. The frame rate of this sting is 25fps which is in-between the other two stop motions, however you can’t really tell because this sting looks fast because of the short amount of time it’s on for and what’s going on in the animation. The video format for this stop motion is HD this is because of how short it so they need it too look good and catch viewers eye, compared to the others that are films so are much longer. The resolution for most E4 stings including this one is 1280*720 which the same as the Finding Nemo Film DVD whereas the YouTube video I watched the sting on is 240*240 so much smaller to fit to the website. If a screen resolution is 1280*720 like the E4 Sting and Finding Nemo Interactive menu then the stop motion is High Definition.
The last stop motion I looked at and researched was the Wallace and Gromit BBC One ident. This stop motion used a lot of animation like the Finding Nemo interactive menu and E4 Sting. However in this ident the characters used are made from moulded plasticine modelling clay so this would have taken longer to make than the other animations. The resolution for the YouTube video I watched it on was 240*240 like all the other YouTube I did research on. If I had watched it on the TV this stop motion would have been HD but the resolution is made smaller specifically so it can be shown on YouTube. I looked at all the technical comments for this ident and how and compared how its different to all the other stop motion graphics. This one is completly different to all of them, they dont all have everything in common different styles and techniques are used depending on the effect wanted to be created or the time of release. This ident was one of the newer stop motions i looked at.

HA5 - Task 2 Layout Animation
This is the first sequence I made on lightwave for Sproc.Net. This was my most simple one because I was getting used to the software.
In this one I started with the log centre then moved it to the left with the Sproc.Net on a slant upwards. Then I spun it round and made it zoom and show the log big and filling the screen. I did this so viewers would still be able to see the logo but it would be interesting.
This next sequence was my second for the Sproc.Net logo on this one I played around with more techniques but made sure it was still noticeable what the logo said.
With this one I wanted to start how I finished so it didnt look like it jumped to much when it finished. I started with it zoomed in so not all the log was visable then made each line of the logo go to different sides of the screen out of view. The I brought them back together then moved them both to the right across the screen to finally have them zoom into the screen again like the begining.
The next sequence was my last and I did there re more screenshots because I used more techniqpues to create this one.
I used elements from the first two sequences in this one to make it look more intresting. I started with it in the middle of the screen which then I rotated it round to the left and made it moved slowly to the right as it was. Then it moved back into the middle while spinning again but to the right until I made it stop come back to the middle and zoom in. This was the hardest one to do.
This next sequence was my second for the Sproc.Net logo on this one I played around with more techniques but made sure it was still noticeable what the logo said.
