The document discusses an animation production lesson. It aims to teach students about cut out animation techniques. Students will participate in an animation challenge where they create a short cut out animation using paper and the stop frame or double frame method. They will storyboard their ideas using tools like Popplet for mind mapping and then present their animations as slideshows in PowerPoint. The lesson covers animation history, research examples, animation methods, storyboarding and creating the animations.

1. Animation Production

2. Recap last week
• Write what you remember
about animation from last week
on the post- it
• Pass the post it to your right
until I say stop
• Talk about what is on your post
it

14. Lesson Aims
• All of you will be able to discuss cut
out animation
• Most of you will be able to research
and explain ideas for a cut out
animation
• Some of you will be able to discuss
and make examples of different types
of animation.

15. How can paper be used to animate?

17. Today there will be an animation
challenge….
• Using paper cut out
animation
• You will work in
groups of 4 or 3 (2
groups of each)
• You will be timed
• You will need to use
PowerPoint to play
back your
animation

18. Stop frame method
• 1 picture each
movement
• Move or replace the cut
out with another

19. Double frame method
• Two pictures per
movement
• Not as smooth but
you can take more
pictures easier

20. Sign up to use Popplet for mind
mapping
• Use your college e-mail address
(yournumber@student.covcollege.ac.uk)
• Double click to add an idea
• Use images and links for research and to
expand on your ideas.

21. Using Popplet to generate ideas for a
paper cut out animation
• Characters
• Ways of using
paper
• How you are going
to animate
• Sound effects
• Set

22. Why create a
storyboard?

23. Professional Storyboards
• Clear drawings to show what the director needs to capture.
• Clear descriptions to give instructions about what to do.
• Clearly labelled shot types and timings.
• Animation artists and some cinematographers will colour
their storyboards also.

24. • Activity 1: Draw out the shot type that you want the
camera to take for your internet safety advert.
Use the shot type hand outs to
help you draw out what is
happening.
Use this diagram to help you
draw out the person for the
correct shot type.

25. Activity 2: Write out the actions and speech
in this box.
Explain what sounds you are going to use (for example sound effects and
music).
Explain what people are going to be saying and doing.
Explain what your camera is going to be doing. (will it be still and taking
the shot, or will it be moving? If it is moving will it be tracking, panning,
zooming or tilting?)

26. Activity 3: Write in your edit choices.
Explain what type of edit you want to make between shots, for example:
- Jump cut
- Cross cutting
- Cutting on the action
- Cut
- Graphic match

27. • Fill out the shot type, for example ( MS, LS, ECU)
• Number the shots in order.
• Add how long the scene will run for in “timing”.

28. Storyboarding out your ideas
• Choose your best idea
from your popplet
• Draw out at least a page of
your animation idea

29. TASK 1: Animation cut out challenge.
• Either Use the sheets provided
and cut them out
OR
• Be creative to make your own
animation.
• Use either the double frame
method or 24 frame stop frame
method to create an animation.

30. Creating the Animaiton
• Use Power point to place a
picture on each slide
• Go to Slide show and click
“record slide show”
• Click through your slides fast
• Then go to save as “windows
media video”
