Animation Level 3 (Y1): March 2014

I'm in the stage of producing my animation but things are all over the place so far so I don't know how I'm going to be getting what I wanted done. I was hoping to have already made my clay by now.

I wanted this to be a 90 second animation but it looks like its going to be longer I will start from 46:00 seconds of the song and finishing at 3:20 so looks like its going to be 2 minutes and 30 seconds because that will be a good time to stop in and Eminem raps fast.

The song lyrics that I'm going to animate to is:

(Eminem)
Yesterday was the tornado warning, today is like the morning after
Your world is torn in half.
You wake and let's wait to start the morning process.
Rebuilding and you're still a work in progress.
Today is a whole new chapter, it's like an enormous asthma,
The thunderstorm has passed ya.
Your weather didn't poke his eyes out with the thorn bush that you used to smell the roses.

Stopped to inhale, can't even tell your nose is stuffed.

So focused on the bright side.

Then you floor the gas pedal and hit the corner fast,

The more asserted, never looking back, may hit the curb, ????paused

But everyday is a new learning curve as you steer through your life.

Sometimes you might not wanna swerve but you have to to avert a disaster.

Lucky, no permanent damage,

Cause they hurt you so bad.

It's like they murdered your ass and threw dirt on your casket,

But you returned from the ashes.

And that hurt that you have, you just converted to gasoline,

And while you're burning the past, standing at inferno and chant.

(Sia)

It's a beautiful kind of pain

Setting fire to yesterday

Find the light x3

(Eminem)

So familiarize what having to swallow this pill is like

It happens all the time, they take your heart and steal your life

And it's as though you feel you've died because you've been killed inside

But yet you're still alive which mean you will survive.

Although today you may weep because you're weak and

everything seems so bleek and hopeless.

The light that you're seeking, it begins to seep in

That's the only thing keeping you from leaping off the motherfreaking deep end.

And I'm pulling for you to push through this feeling

And with a little time that should do the healing

And by tomorrow you may even feel so good that you're willing

To forgive then even after all that shit you been put through.

This feeling of resilience is building.

And the flames are burning quick as fire would through this building your're sealed in,

But you're fire proof, and flame retardant you withstood it.

And as you climb up to the roof you're just chillin' and you look down

Cause you're so over them you could put the heel of your foot through the ceiling.

As time passes, things change everyday

But wounds, wounds heal

But scars still remain the same,

But tomorrow today's gone down in flames

Throw the match, set the past up a blaze.

So feel the fire beneath your feet

As you barely even perspire from the heat

Exhale deep and breathe a sigh of relief

And you say goodbye to the grief,

It's like watching the walls melt in your prison cell

But you've extinguished this living hell

Still a little piece of you dies, you scream.

(Sia)

It's a beautiful kind of pain

I want to use all sorts of cut out and images from different sources that will go with the words in this I might also add special effects but that will depend on whether I will still have time to do that or not.

So far I have created a stick man figure using clay so I can add it to my animation I will use the stickman figure so I make it do things that will go with the lyrics. I used this site to choose a text and then print out the lyrics so I can create my animation.

I later managed to recover this video it got deleted of my laptop and I got it back from backups that I made without realising but still the rest of the video isn't there.n add it to my animation I will use the stick man figure so I make it do things that will go with the lyrics.

I didn't edit this I just posted it on here so you can my idea.

For my animation idea I'am going to make a lyric video I would like to have lots of different things and do a lot of work in it. I want to make it using some clay, cut outs and possibly draw some things as part of my animation because I've got an idea and I want to do a lot with it.

I would also like to take some photos and put it together as an animation either of myself or someone else, this might not happen but I want to bring out all my ideas and put it into that 90 seconds of my animation because I want this to be the best that I can make it.

I chose to do Eminem because his songs are really deep and they mean something to many people and he is one of the top rappers.

These are just some that I really like:

The song that I'm going to do a lyric animation is Beautiful Pain by Eminem & Sian as I really love this song the lyrics have meaning and i really like it because it's not like any other songs.

Eminem is one of my favourite rappers.

So I want to do this animation and put some emotion to it so the lyrics stand out and have meaning to it e.g. the text will look dramatic or I will make it go with the meaning of the word. I will try to animate as many things as I can. I really think this could work if I put my time and effort into it.

I could make some texts using Photoshop or try drawing it myself and then colour it but that might take more time and I'm not sure if I have anymore time than I already wasted. I kept changing my ideas and I never even started my animation at this stage.

Photoshop

I havent planned to put all of my ideas together yet but I need to listen to the song and figure out what I can put with it. I want the music to play exactly with my animation to do this will require some editing either on imovie or Adobe Premiere Pro and I will use garage band to edit the music.

imovie

GarageBand

I will make my animation using stop motion but I will need to use GarageBand and imovie to put my video nicely together and maybe add some effects.
