Model Based Animation
Model based is a form of stop motion animation that is made by using different 3D objects and moving them to a sequence. The models are commonly made from materials like clay and plasticine. These are the most popular materials to use for this form of animation because they can be easily moulded into different shapes. This makes them useful as you can make them look realistic which is good for telling a story. Model based animations are made the same way as most other stop motion animations, a picture is taken every time the model is moved to give the illusion of movement. Most Model based animations are aimed at a younger audience. This is because the models are often made from childish objects such as toys and children are also fond of the plasticine as it resembles play-doh. Most older audiences would not be interested in watching an animation made with toys however like most other forms of stop motion, some model based animations can have adult themes.
This video is a clip from the animation, 'Wallace and Gromit'. This is a model based animation created by a British company called 'Aardman'. Over time it has generated 4 short films and one feature length film. The series is created with plasticine and when it first started out it was made entirely by just modelling clay, moving it and taking a picture after each movement. This is an extremely long process as it takes around 24 frames (pictures) to make a second of film and only an average of 30 frames can get completed in a day meaning just over 1 second of film is made a day. Their feature length film took around 15 months in total to complete. Some of the effects in the feature length film were created on a computer because it would be impossible to create them just through stop motion.
This is another model based animation. This is a video created by a youtuber called 'Forestfire101'. He specialises in creating stop motion lego films. This clip in particular is based on a lego Harry Potter collection. His videos are not like most other lego stop motion as they are targeted at an older audience. This is because they have a lot of adult themes involved in it's comedy. These videos will be created the same way as the other stop motion videos however they will use a computers technology to make the figures mouths move and look more realistic. These videos are very popular on youtube and get almost a million views on each video.
This is a video of my own model based animation. It shows 3 figures made from different coloured clay. The figures each have google eyes attached to them to help develop their characters as this shows that they are creatures. I used a Hue webcam to take a picture of the clay every time I moved it. The pictures would come up on the program istopMotion 3 where I could edit them.
