Today’s essential questions: What type of character will I design? How will I create it?
Today we will build a character out of polymer clay. We will also storyboard the process of how we created it, and take a few reference photos along the way. Next class, we will go back and create a proper stop motion animation of the character morphing into existence, as in the examples below:
Make a face
Here is an example of what I mean by storyboard sketches for the animation above:
Make a friend
It is easiest if you work in pairs, with one person building the character, and another person photographing and sketching the steps.
Today we will:
- Build a character out of polymer clay
- Storyboard the process of how we created it
- Take reference photos of the character creation process
- Post the following to our blog:
- Photos of the character creation process (including a photo of the final completed character)
- A photo of our storyboard
- A few sentences describing how you created the character, and what you think will be the easiest and most difficult parts of this process to animate next class
